carrying at your side.
12 VOLT ADAPTOR
See Figures 3 and 4.
The light may be connected to a 12 Volt power source, such as
a cigarette lighter receptacle or automotive power port. Refer to
vehicle owner’s manual for location of cigarette lighter receptacle
or power port.
■Insert the barrel plug into the port on the base of the spot light.
■Secure the cord in the cord retainer.
■Route the cord to the 12 Volt power source.
■Hold the 12 Volt adaptor firmly and place connector into a
cigarette lighter receptacle or power port to energize light.
If the 12 V adapter does not t rmly into the cigarette lighter
receptacle or power port, the receptacle may not be suitable for use
with the light. A poor connection at the base of the 12 V adapter
could lead to electrical problems in the vehicle outside of the
protections offered by the vehicle or light’s fuse.
NOTE: Powering the unit using a vehicle’s 12 V receptacle when
the engine is not running will drain the vehicle’s battery.
TURNING THE SPOT LIGHT ON AND OFF
See Figure 5.
Squeeze and release the switch trigger to turn the spot light on and
off.
NOTE: It is not necessary to hold the switch trigger to operate the
spot light.
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
If overheating occurs, the light will attempt to cool itself by dimming.
If dimming does not cool the light sufciently, it will shut off. As soon
as the unit reaches normal operating temperature, it can be turned
on again. If it shuts off, allow approximately 10 minutes of cool-
down time before attempting to resume operation.
ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS
See Figure 6.
The brightness knob, located on the back of the spot light, controls
the intensity of the LED. To increase brightness, turn the knob to the
right. To decrease brightness, turn the knob to the left.
ADJUSTABLE HEAD
See Figure 7.
CAUTION
Do not place hands or ngers between adjustable head and
handle when positioning spot light to avoid pinching your ngers
or hands.

77
The adjustable head can be rotated 185 degrees. Adjust light to
desired position for best illumination.
CHANGING THE FUSE
See Figure 8.
The 12 Volt adaptor contains a 250 Volt, 8 Amp, 5 x 20 mm fuse
to protect the adaptor and charger from unexpected power surges.
To replace the fuse:
■Unscrew the fuse cap on the end of the 12 Volt adaptor.
■Install the replacement fuse. If the spring comes out, be sure to
reinsert it before installing the new fuse.
■Thread the fuse cap back onto the adaptor. Tighten securely.
ADJUSTING TENSION
See Figure 9.
The adjustable head can become loose over time. Tension between
the head and the cradle can be increased by turning the adjustment
screw.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance
of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine
(risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being
overloaded and helps to ensure long life. Under extreme stress the
battery electronics switch off the machine automatically. To restart,
switch the machine off and then on again. If the machine does not
start up again, the battery pack may have discharged completely. In
this case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
