lamp in road traffic.
 Before any work on the battery-powered
LED work lamp (e.g. assembly, service

 Do not let children use the battery-
powered LED work lamp. It is designed for
professional use. Children may be
accidentally blinded or may blind others.

continuous exposure to sunlight, fire,
water and humidity. There is a risk of
explosion.
 If the battery is damaged or used
improperly, fumes may be emitted.
Provide fresh air and consult a doctor
if you feel unwell. The fumes may irritate
the respiratory tract.
 Pointed objects, such as nails or screw-
drivers, or external forces may damage
the battery. This may cause an internal
short-circuit and the battery to burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.

recommended by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery may create a fire hazard when used
with another battery.

or by external application of force. This
may give rise to an internal short circuit,
causing the battery to burn, smoke,
