PERSONAL SAFETY
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
light in unexpected situations.
•Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the light in unexpected situations.
•Do not expose light to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a light will increase the risk of electric shock.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not put
light in water or other liquid. Do not place or store
appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or
sink.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
•Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Unplug the cord from outlet when not in use and
before servicing or cleaning.
•Always use a suitable extension cord to reduce the

•
Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Caution, risk of electric shock
•
When using light on battery only, remove power
cord from inlet.
If operating a light in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is
maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorised service providers.
