Illuminated objects may overheat if this distance is not maintained.

NOTE

Do not look into the light beam for pro-longed periods.
The optical radiation may harm your eyes.
Do not cover the lamp head while the cordless work light is operating.
The lamp head warms up during operation and can cause burns if this heat accumulates.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted.
The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects.
The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery.
Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accident-ally occurs, rinse off with water.
If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another.
A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
Do not open the battery.
There is a risk of short circuiting.
Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer.
This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion and short circuiting.
Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery
Never swallow button cells. Swallowing button cells can result in severe internal burns and death within two hours.

Stop using the worklight if the battery compartment cover no longer closes; remove the button cell and have the worklight repaired.
Ensure that battery replacement is carried out prop-erly. There is a risk of explosion.
Do not attempt to recharge the button cell and do not short circuit the button cell. The button cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
