IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term "product" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) product or battery-operated (cordless) product.
WORK AREA SAFETY
 For light duty use in normally dry locations.
 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
 Do not operate products in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Products create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
 Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a product. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 A battery operated product 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.
 Use battery only with charger listed. For use with
18V nickel-cadmium and 18V lithium-ion battery packs,
see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 988000-302.
 Do not expose products to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a product will increase the risk of electric
shock.
 Only hang or mount flood light in an area where
no electrical wires, utility cables, pipes, or other
obstructions are located to avoid risk of electrocution
or electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the product in unexpected situations.
 Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
product in unexpected situations.
FLOOD LIGHT USE AND CARE
 Do not use product if switch does not turn it on or
off. A product that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect battery pack from product before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the product. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the product accidentally.
 Keep the product and its handle 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 solvents to clean your
product. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss
of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use this
light near water.
 Clean only with dry cloth.
 Do not operate near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
 Recharge 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 products 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.
SERVICE
 Product service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
 When servicing the product, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
