GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL APPLIANCES
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read all instructions before operating product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
•AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS: Don’t use light in damp or wet locations. Don’t use light in the rain.
•STORE IDLE APPLIANCES INDOORS. When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or locked-up
place – out of reach of children – to avoid the risk of damaging the appliance.
•DON’T FORCE APPLIANCE. It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was
designed.
•DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry light by the charger cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
•DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•DISCONNECT APPLIANCES. Disconnect the 120 Volt AC Charger from the power supply when not in use.
•GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used.
Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety. Charger plug must match
the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
•USE OF ACCESSORIES AND ATTACHMENTS. The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended for use with this light
could be hazardous.
Note: Refer to the “Accessories” section of this manual for further details.
•STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate appliance when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use appliance if
switch does not turn it ON and OFF.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. The accompanying table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When appliance is charged outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so
marked.
