WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Always charge batteries in chargers recommended
by the manufacturer. Chargers designed for a specific
type of battery may pose a fire hazard when used
together with other battery types.
You must always insert the correct batteries in the
lamp. Using other batteries may cause injuries and pose
a fire hazard.
When not in use, keep batteries away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects that could bridge the contacts. Short circuits
between battery contacts can cause burns or fires.
Fluid may escape if batteries are used inappropri-
ately. Avoid all contact with this fluid. In the event of
accidental skin contact, rinse the affected area thor-
oughly. If the fluid enters your eyes, seek immediate
medical assistance. Escaping battery fluid can cause
skin irritation or burns.
Do not operate the lamp in potentially explosive
environments containing flammable dust, fluids or
gases . The lamp can generate sparks which may ignite
dust or vapours.
Avoid accidental operation. Make sure that the lamp
is switched off before connecting the battery and
before picking up or carrying the lamp. Accidentally
pressing the switch on the device or connecting the
device to the power supply when already switched on
can lead to accidents.
Always switch off the lamp when not in use.
Never use electrical devices with a defective switch.
Electrical devices that can no longer be switched on or off
are dangerous and must be repaired immediately.
Remove the battery before adjusting, cleaning and
storing the device or changing accessories. These
precautionary measures prevent accidental operation of
the lamp.
When not in use, keep the lamp out of the reach of
children. Do not allow personnel to use the device
unless they are already familiar with it or have read
these instructions. Electrical devices are dangerous
when used by inexperienced personnel.
Maintain the device carefully. Check that all moving
parts are functioning correctly and do not seize,
make sure that no parts are broken or damaged to
an extent where they affect the function of the lamp.
Have damaged parts repaired before using the
device. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained electrical tools.

window that is damaged.
