SAFETY INFORMATION
• Avoid direct eye exposure. Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do
not stare into the light beam yourself (not even from a distance). The spotlight can
cause flash blindness.
• Do not use the spotlight in road traffic. The cordless spotlight is not approved for
illumination in road traffic.
• Do not permit children to use the spotlight; it is not a toy. Children can unintentionally
blind themselves or other persons.
• 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.
• The lens gets very hot during use. To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch hot lens.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep away from combustible materials while in operation.
• The spotlight is ruggedly constructed. It should, however, be handled with care.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the
appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• Recharge battery packs 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 appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
• The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by
force applied externally. An internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance
outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.
