IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Before using, read this operator’s manual, your battery pack and charger operator’s manual, and all labels on the battery pack, charger and light.
Learn your light’s applications and limitations as well as potential hazards associated with this type of tool.
Read and understand all the instructions before using the light.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the light. Carrying the light with your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.
Disconnect the battery pack from the light before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing light. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the light accidentally.
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 light 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 light that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion. The temperature of 130°C can be replaced by the temperature of 265°F.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or light 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 light or the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used near children.
Store idle light out of reach of children. Warm lights can become hazardous in the hands of children.
Do not store light by the 12″ magnetic storage tray.
Remove light from underbody before operating a vehicle. A light left attached to the underbody may break free which could result in personal injury.
Store indoors. Do not expose to rain.
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
