IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY
TOOLS
■ USE ONLY THE CHARGER RECOMMENDED FOR
USE WITH YOUR FLASHLIGHT. Do not substitute any other charger. Use of another charger could cause batteries to explode causing possible serious injury.
■
Your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F.
■ Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
WARNING:
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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.
WARNING:
Never use a battery pack that has been damaged or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery pack is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a damaged battery pack immediately. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of injury, charge only nickel-cadmium type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
■ Do not expose to wet or damp conditions.
■
To reduce the risk of damage to charger body and cord, pull by charger plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
■ An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure: a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the
same number, size and shape as those of
plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and c.
That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) 25' 50' 100'
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
Note: AWG = American Wire Gage
■ DO NOT OPERATE CHARGER WITH A DAMAGED
CORD OR PLUG. If damaged, have replaced immediately by a qualified serviceman.
■ Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.
■
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
■ To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
■
Do not use charger in wet or damp conditions.
■ Disconnect charger from power supply when not in use.

MAINTENANCE
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage tool as well as workpiece.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
BATTERIES
Your flashlight's battery pack is equipped with nickelcadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. DO NOT disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
■ Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above 100° F or below 50° F will shorten battery life.
■ Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them after they are discharged.
■ All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery life.
