• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• Do not direct the light beam at persons or pets and avoid staring into the light even from a distance. Serious eye injury could occur.
• Do not operate this light in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The light generates heat which may ignite the dust or fumes.
