hot after being on for only a short period of time. This hot
temperature can cause burn injury if touched and can

To avoid serious personal injury, never allow the worklight
lens to come in contact with anything.
Keep light dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong
solvent to clean the worklight.
Don’t expose worklight to rain. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock or
malfunction.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the worklight in unexpected situations. Do not
use on a ladder or unstable support.
WORKLIGHT USE AND CARE

minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use
any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
