_, WARNING: When using this Multi-Purpose Worklight, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETYWARNINGS
_, WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions before using this
Multi-Purpose Worklight. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks,
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions may cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a
GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Use only with the battery and chargers listed:

operating a power the tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment, such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection, used for appropriate conditions, will reduce personal injuries.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the switch is in the OFF
position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack,
picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.

collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at
the rate for which it was designated.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
2966 Manual_Revised_l± 0413 Page 6

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, blades, etc. in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

LOW-BATTERY CAPACITY INDICATOR
NOTICE: A new battery pack is not fully charged!
First, read the safety rules, and then follow the instructions in the sections entitled
"Important Charging Notes" and HOW TO CHARGE THE BA'n'ERY PACK.
Important Charging Notes.
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if batteries are charged
at normal room temperature.
2. While charging a battery, the charger will normally become warm.
3. If the batteries do not charge properly:
A. Verifythe current at the outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance
and turning it on.
B. Determine whether the outlet is connected to a light switch that turns the
power off when you turn out the lights; if so, make sure that the power is
turned on.
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient
power on jobs that were previously done easily or when the FuelGauge
shines red to indicate that the charge is depleted. Do not continue to use
the tool under these conditions. Repeat the charging procedure.
5. Unplug the charger from the power supply before disconnecting it from the
tool. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.
6. Battery life depends on usage, storage temperature and time.
7. The charger is intended to be used in a vertical or floor-mounted position.
Unlike other battery types, Lithium-Ion battery delivers fade-free power for their
entire run time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual loss of power as
you work. To signal that the battery is at the end of its run time and needs to be
charged, the power to the tool will drop quickly.
BATTERY PROTECTION
The battery circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme temperature, over-
discharge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from damage and prolong
its life, the battery pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes
overloaded or if the temperature becomes too high during use. This may
happen in extremely high torque, binding, and stalling situations. This intelligent
system will shut down your battery pack if its operating temperature exceeds
176°F (80°C)and will begin normal operation when it returns to 32°F (0°C) -
104°F (40°C).
NOTICE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack
indicates that the battery is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced.
2966 Manual_Revised_11 0413 Page 12

COLD WEATHER OPERATION
This Lithium-Ion battery pack will provide optimal performance in temperatures
between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). When the battery pack is very cold, it
may "pulse" for the first minute of use to warm itself. Install the battery pack in
the tool and use the tool in a light application; after about a minute, the battery
pack will have warmed itself and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge before recharging. The
Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a "memory"
when charged after only a partial discharge.
Remove the battery pack from the tool when it is convenient for you and your
job. "Top off" the battery pack charge by charging it for a time before starting a
big job or long period of use.
Due to Lithium-Ion fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to charge the
Lithium-Ion battery pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge.
The yellow LED on the FuelGauge indicates that the battery has used
approximately one half of its charge.
The red LED on the FuelGauge indicates the battery pack is depleted and needs
to be charged.
Charge the battery pack as needed.
HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK (Fig. 2)
