SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not allow children to use the flashlight. Children can unintentionally blind themselves or other persons.
- Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the light beam yourself (not even from a distance). Serious eye injury could
- Do not operate flashlights in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Flashlight creates heat and sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your flashlight in fluid or allow fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
- Do not place or store a flashlight where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
- Do not cover the lens while operating the flashlight. The lens heats up during the operation and can cause burns or fire when the heat accumulates.
- Do not position the lighted flashlight head-on or near flammable or com bustible materials. The lens gets hot during use.
- Do not touch the lens while the flashlight is in operation. Touching a hot lens increases the risk of personal injury.
- Do not splash the lens of the lighted flashlight with liquids. The hot lens may shatter when cooler liquids are contacted.
- After the automatic shut-off of the flashlight, do not continue to press the On/Off button. The battery could become damaged.
- The flashlight is ruggedly constructed. It should, however, be handled with care.
- Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the flashlight in unexpected situations.
- Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the flashlight outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
- Check the battery charge level at least once a month, especially if used for emergency purposes. Recharge the battery if the charge level is low.
- Do not modify or attempt to repair the flashlight except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
- Do not use a battery pack or flashlight that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
- Remove the USB cable from the flashlight before any work on the flashlight itself (e.g. assembling, maintenance, cleaning, etc.), as well as when transporting and storing.
- Use only original Dremel accessories.
Battery Charging Safety Rules
- This manual contains instructions for the battery charger in the Dremel flashlight
- Before using the flashlight, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) the USB power supply, and (2) the flashlight.
- Use only Dremel 510 power supply or a Listed/certified USB power supply to charge the flashlight. Using another type of power supply may cause property damage or personal injury and fire.
- Charge flashlight in temperatures above +32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and below +104 degrees F (40 degrees C). Store flashlight in locations where temperatures will not exceed 113 degrees F (45 degrees C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
- Do not recharge flashlights in damp or wet environments. Do not expose flash light to rain or snow. Water entering a flashlight may result in electric shock or fire.
- Place flashlight on flat non-flammable surfaces and away from flammable ma terials when recharging flashlight. Carpeting and other heat-insulating surfaces block proper air circulation, which may cause overheating of the flashlight. If smoke or melting of the flashlight is observed, unplug the flashlight immediately and do not use the flashlight. Contact customer service immediately.
- Make sure the USB cable is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. A damaged plug and cable may result in electric shock or fire.
- Disconnect the flashlight by pulling the USB plug rather than the cable. Do not charge the flashlight with a damaged USB cable; have it replaced immediately. A damaged USB cable may result in electric shock or fire.
- Do not disassemble the flashlight or operate the flashlight if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in electric shock or fire.
- Before each use, check the flashlight and USB cable. If damage is detected, do not use the flashlight and USB cable. Never open the flashlight yourself. Take it to a Dremel Factory Service Center or qualified serviceman only using original spare parts. Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or fire.
- Unplug the flashlight from the USB cable and USB power supply when the battery in the flashlight is fully charged. Flashlight left connected to USB power supply over a long period of time could lead to flashlight damage and fire.
- Unplug the flashlight from the USB cable and USB power supply before storage, attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
- Keep the flashlight clean by wiping the flashlight housing with a damp cloth. Contamination may result in electric shock or fire.
Battery Care
-
DO NOT PUT BATTERIES ON FIRE OR EXPOSE THEM TO HIGH HEAT. They may explode.
-
Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with skin, wash quickly with soap and water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention. -
Do not store battery or battery-operated flashlight in damp locations where corrosion of terminals may occur.
-
Do not store battery or battery-operated flashlight at high temperature (over 113°F / +45°C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
Battery Disposal
**** Do not attempt to disassemble the flashlight or remove any component projecting from the flashlight. Fire or injury may result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape to prevent shorting.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
If equipped with a lithium-ion battery, the battery must be collected, recycled, or disposed of in an environment mentally sound manner.
“The EPA certified RBRC Battery Recycling Seal on the lithium-ion (Li-ion)
battery indicates Robert Bosch Tool Corporation is voluntarily participating
in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of
their useful life when taken out of service in the United States or Canada.
The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Li-ion
batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal
in your area. Please
call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Li-ion battery recycling and disposal
bans/restrictions in your area, or return your batteries to a Bosch/Dremel
Service Center for recycling. Robert Bosch Tool Corporation’s involvement in
this program is part of our commitment to preserving our environment and
conserving our natural resources.”
**** Do not open the flashlight or attempt to remove the battery from your flashlight. Dispose of the flashlight through your local waste removal authority or a Bosch/Dremel Service Center.

SERVICE
MEN:** Disconnect tool and/or charger from the power source before
servicing.
Batteries
