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.
WARNING!
When using electric appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
 Read all the instructions before using the appliance.
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary

when an appliance is used near children.
 Do not use outdoors.
 To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put worklight
or charger in water or other liquid. Do not place or store
appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
 Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to re-
charge.
 Use battery only with charger listed. For use with
18 V nickel-cadmium and 18 V lithium-ion battery packs, see
tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement
988000-302.
 Use only recommended battery pack. Any attempt to use
another battery pack will cause damage to your worklight and
could possibly explode, cause a fire, or personal injury.
 Remove battery pack from worklight before performing any
routine maintenance or cleaning.
 Do not disassemble the worklight.
 Do not place worklight or battery pack near fire or heat. They
may explode. Also, do not dispose of a worn out battery pack
by incinerating. Do not incinerate the battery, even if it is severely
damaged or completely worn out. The battery may explode in
fire.
 Do not operate worklight or charger near flammable liquids
or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Internal sparks may
ignite fumes.
 Do not store your worklight in a damp or wet location. Do
not store in locations where the temperature is less than
50°F or more than 100°F. Do not store in outside sheds or in
vehicles.
 Do not permit children to use worklight, lens, and surround-
ing housing.
 If wrapped or in contact with fabrics, the worklight lens can
produce sufficient heat to melt some fabrics. To avoid serious
personal injury, never allow the worklight lens to come in contact
with anything.
 Keep light dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use
a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any strong solvent to clean the
worklight.
 Don't expose worklight to rain. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock or malfunction.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the
worklight in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support.
WORKLIGHT USE AND CARE
 This product is for household use only.
 Store worklight out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Worklights are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
 Do not use or permit use of worklight in bed or sleeping
bags. This worklight lens can melt fabric and a burn injury could
result.
 Do not allow any other objects to hang from the flexible neck
of the worklight.
 When bending the neck to loop it around a pipe, wall stud,
floor joist, or other object, do not twist the tubing more than
360° on its axis.
SAFETY RULES FOR WORKLIGHT
 Always remove battery pack before storing the device.
 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin,
wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets in your
eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then
seek immediate medical attention.
 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition,
such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open
flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a
sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly
dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately. Failure
to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them
to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.

INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANTES
CONCERNANT LA SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT !
LIRE ET VEILLER À BIEN COMPRENDRE TOUTES
LES INSTRUCTIONS. Le non-respect de toutes
les instructions ci-dessous peut entraîner un choc
électrique, un incendie et/ou des blessures graves.
AVERTISSEMENT !
Au moment d'utiliser les appareils électriques, les
précautions de base doivent être prises, y compris ce
qui suit.
CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS
 Lire toutes les instructions avant d'utiliser l'appareil.
 Pour réduire le risque de blessures, une bonne surveillance
est nécessaire quand un appareil est utilisé à proximité des
enfants.
 Ne pas utiliser à l'extérieur.
 Pour réduire le risque d'un choc électrique, ne pas mettre la
lampe de travail ou le chargeur dans l'eau ou autre liquide.
Ne pas placer ou entreposer l'appareil dans un endroit où il peut
tomber ou être entraîné dans une baignoire ou un évier.
 N'utiliser que le chargeur fournit par le fabricant pour
recharge.
 Ne recharger le bloc-pile qu'avec l'appareil indiqué. Pour
utiliser l'appareil avec des piles au nickel-cadmium et au lithium-
ion de 18 V, consulter le supplément de raccordement pour outil/
chargeur/bloc-piles/chargeur n˚ 988000-302.
 N'utiliser que le bloc-pile recommandé. L'utilisation de tout
autre le bloc-pile endommagerait la lampe de travail et pourrait
causer une explosion, un incendie et des blessures.
 Retirer le bloc de piles de la lampe de travail avant d'effectuer
toute opération de nettoyage ou d'entretien.
 Ne pas démonter la lampe de travail.
 Ne pas placer la lampe de travail ou le bloc-pile à proximité
de flammes ou d'une source de chaleur. Ils peuvent exploser.
Également, ne pas incinérer une pile usée. Ne pas incinérer la
pile, même si elle est complètement usée ou très endommagée.
La pile peut exploser dans le feu.
 Ne pas utiliser lampe de travail ou le chargeur à proximité
de liquides explosifs, en présence de gaz ou dans une
atmosphère explosive. Les étincelles internes peuvent
enflammer les vapeurs.
 Ne pas remiser la lampe de travail dans un endroit humide
ou mouillé. Ne pas remiser dans des emplacements où la
température est inférieure 10 °C (50 °F) à ou supérieure à
38 °C (100 °F). Ne pas remiser dans un remise extérieure ou
dans un véhicule.
 Ne pas laisser des enfants utiliser la lampe de travail, lentille
et el boîtier.
 Si la lampe de travail est enveloppée ou en contact avec un
tissu, le diffuseur peut dégager une chaleur suffisante pour
fondre certains tissus. Pour éviter des blessures graves, ne
jamais laisser le diffuseur de la lampe entrer en contact avec
quoi que ce soit.
 Garder la lampe de travail sèche, propre et exempte d'huile
ou de graisse. Toujours utiliser un chiffon propre pour le
nettoyage. Ne jamais utiliser de liquide de freins, d'essence,
de produits à base de pétrole ou de solvants puissants pour
nettoyer la lampe.
 Ne pas exposer la lampe de travail à la pluie. La pénétration
d'eau dans des outils électriques accroît le risque de choc
électrique ou de problèmes de fonctionnement.
 Ne pas travailler hors de portée. Toujours se tenir bien campé
et en équilibre. Une bonne tenue et un bon équilibre permettent
de mieux contrôler la lampe en cas de situation imprévue. Ne
pas utiliser la lampe sur une échelle ou un support instable.
