IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – RISK OF FIRE, BURST HAZARD, OR INJURY TO PERSONS. When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be  followed, including the following:

  • The 5W LED gets HOT quickly!

  • Do not touch the LED at any time when operating.

  • Only contact trigger when turning on.

  • Do not touch the hot lens or enclosure.

  • Do not remain in light if your skin feels warm.

  • Do not operate the spotlight with a missing or damaged lens or enclosure.

  • To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the spotlight is used near children.

  • Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.

  • Store idle appliances indoors. When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in dry and high or locked-up places – out of reach of children.
    WARNING – FIRE HAZARD:

  • Never contact combustible material to the lens.

  • Keep the spotlight lamp away from materials that may burn.
    CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:

  • All lights give off the heat:
    – Do not touch the lens while operating.
    – Keep combustibles away from the spotlight lens. Extreme heat can cause fires.
    – Never place the light face down on any surface when lit or not in use. Never store the light face down on any surface.

  • Never look directly into the light or shine the light into another person’s eyes. Serious eye injury could occur.

  • Keep sharp objects away from the lens – it can crack or break.

  • Do not expose this unit to extremely high temperatures.

  • Do not drop or throw the spotlight. It contains alkaline batteries.

  • Do not disassemble the main body of the unit. Other than the 6 AA-size alkaline batteries, there are no user-replaceable parts.

ALKALINE BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE, OR LEAK, AND CAN CAUSE INJURY OR FIRE. To reduce this risk:

  • Use only AA alkaline dry cell batteries in this unit.
  • Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
  • Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –), marked on the battery and the equipment.
  • Do not short battery terminals.
  • Do not charge batteries.
  • Do not mix old and new; or alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), and rechargeable (nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride) batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type.
  • Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of them per local codes.
  • Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
  • Keep batteries out of reach of children.
  • Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.

“Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools, and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibits transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual  batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.”

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO WATERPROOF SPOTLIGHTS
The rubber O-ring acts to preserve the waterproof qualities of the spotlight. The O-ring seals the end cap to prevent water from entering the gap. An undamaged rubber O-ring, rubber bezel and lens, and proper sealing of the end cap before use are very important.
CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:

  • Attempting to remove the rubber O-ring; use of the unit with a damaged O-ring, rubber bezel or lens; improper sealing of the waterproof end cap; and/or submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet may cause the unit to no longer be waterproof. Do not submerge the unit if these conditions exist or the unit could sustain permanent damage.
  • Submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet and/or operating it in water temperature other than between 41ºF and 104ºF (5ºC and 40ºC) could result in leakage, warping or malfunction, causing permanent damage to the spotlight.
