Thank you for purchasing the First-Light USA Tomahawk® MC Tactical Light.
Please carefully review this manual prior to use.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ FIRST
The intense white light emitted by the primary white LED may cause temporary
blinding, regardless of the brightness level used. Use caution during operation.
Do not point light directly into eyes at any distance. Not for use by children.
LITHIUM BATTERY WARNING
Lithium batteries can be dangerous if used improperly. Never disassemble,
short circuit, recharge, or expose to water, re, or high temperatures. Never use
batteries of different ages, capacities, or brands together. Store separately and
properly dispose of batteries after use. Keep away from children.
IMPORTANT: Never install any rechargeable CR123 batteries that exceed a
combined voltage of 10 volts as this will damage the internal circuitry and
void the warranty.

To order replacement parts, please call 877.454.4450 or visit www.rstlight-usa.com.
NOTE: High quality, rechargeable CR123 batteries may be used to power the
Tomahawk MC Tactical Light. The user should identify the voltage capacity of any
rechargeable batteries prior to installing them into the Tomahawk MC Tactical Light.
