USE ONLY THE CHARGER RECOMMENDED
FOR USE WITH YOUR WORKLIGHT.
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.

BATTERIES
Your worklight'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 worklight 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 or below normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
• Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them immediately after they are discharged.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your worklight for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of batteries properly.
This product contains nickelcadmium batteries. Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium batteries in ordinary trash.
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND
PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING
_k WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape.
Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its components.
Nickelcadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.
_k ARNING: Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. Fire or injury may result.
