CAUTION:
• This is not a rainproof light. Do not wash the
light in water or use it in a rain or a wet area.
Such a conduct can cause an electric shock and
fume.
• Do not touch the lens of the light, as it is very hot
while it is lighted or shortly after it is turned off.
This may cause a burn to a human body.
• Do not apply impact to the light, which may
cause damage or shorted service time to it.
• Do not keep casting the beam of the light to your
eyes. This can cause your eyes to be hurt.
• Do not cover the light with clothes, carton, card-
board or similar objects while it is lighted, which
can cause a fire or an ignition.
