WARNING – WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the spotlight is used near children.
• Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
• Charge indoors only.
• Do not put the spotlight in water or other liquid. Do not place or store the spotlight where it can fall or be
pulled into water or become wet.
• Do not clean this appliance with a water spray or the like.
• Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to recharge.
• When an extension cord is used:
– The marked rating of the detachable power supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of this appliance.
– The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped
over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
– The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
– 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 following 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.
– When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD: Never contact combustible material to the lens and never tape or tie the switch
in the on position.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• All halogen lights give off heat:
– Do not touch lens while operating.
– Keep combustibles away from spotlight lens. Extreme heat can cause fires.
– Never place the light face down on any surface when lit, charging or not in use. Never store the light face
down on any surface.
• Never look directly into the light or shine the light into another person's eyes.
• Keep sharp objects away from lens — it is glass and can break.
• Do not immerse spotlight in water.
• Do not expose this unit to extremely high temperatures.
• Do not drop or throw spotlight. It contains glass and a sealed lead acid battery.
• Use only with AC charger provided with unit. Plug in the extension cord to the spotlight first, then plug into the
power source.
• After charging/recharging, disconnect the extension cord and wait 5 minutes before use.
• Do not crush, cut, pull or expose the extension cord to extreme heat.
• Position charging cords so they do not become entangled or become a safety hazard. Keep charging cords away
from sharp edges.
