Work Area Safety
1 . Keep your work area clean and well lit . Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents .
2 . Do not operate lights in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust . Lights
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes .
3 . Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a light . Distractions can cause you to lose control and
endanger others .
Electrical Safety
4 . A battery operated light with integral batteries or a separate
battery pack must be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery . A charger that may be suitable for one
type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery .
5 . Use battery operated light only with specifically designated
battery pack . Use of any other batteries may create a risk
of fire .
Personal Safety
6 . Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating a light . Do not use light while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication . A moment of
inattention while operating lights may result in serious
personal injury .
7 . Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry . Contain
long hair . Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts . Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts .

"off" position before inserting battery pack . Carrying lights
with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack

times . Proper footing and balance enable better control of
the light in unexpected situations .

must be used for appropriate conditions .
Light Use and Care
11 . Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform . Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control .
12 . Disconnect battery pack from light or place the switch in the
locked or "off" position before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the light . Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the light
accidentally .
13 . Store idle lights out of reach of children and other untrained
persons . Lights are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users .
14 . 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 sparks, burns, or a fire .
15 . If damaged, have the light serviced before using . Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained lights .
16 . Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model . Accessories that may be
suitable for one light may create a risk of injury when used
on another light .
17 . Do not use (or modify) the tool for any other purpose than
that for which it was designed without consulting the
manufacturer's authorized representative .
