IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal 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 energising 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 behaviour 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.
• 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.
• Clean the surface before attaching the magnetic stand to the work surface. Paint, rust, scale, or uneven surfaces decrease the holding strength of the magnet. Chips, burrs, dirt and other foreign matter on the surface of the magnet base will also decrease holding power. Do not attach magnetic base to non-magnetic grades of stainless steel. The magnet base will not hold.
• 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.
• 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. Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not understand these operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond your capability; contact MILWAUKEE® Tool or a trained professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility for a replacement.
