IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety warnings and all
WARNING
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA
SAFETY
• 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.
ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
• Power cord plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not put light
in water or other liquid. Do not place or store appliance
where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.
• Arrange cords carefully to avoid hazardous environ-
ments. Tripping or snagging on cords can cause injury
and product damage. Do not allow cords to run through
puddles or across wet ground.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Unplug the cord from outlet when not in use and
before servicing or cleaning.
• Always use a suitable extension cord to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
• If operating a light in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the light in
unexpected situations.
• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
light in unexpected situations.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
BATTERY TOOL
USE AND CARE
• 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.
•Do not short circuit. A short-circuited battery pack
may cause fire, personal injury, and product damage.
A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a
connection between the positive and negative contacts
on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near
anything that may cause a short circuit, such as coins,
keys or nails in your pocket.
•Do not allow fluids to flow into battery pack. Cor-
rosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain
industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing
products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or ex-
cessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improp-
erly or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
CHARGER USE
AND CARE
•
To reduce the risk of injury, charge
CAUTION
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion packs only
in their MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion charger. Other types
of batteries may burst causing personal injury and dam-
age. Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug
or car cigarette lighter. Batteries will be permanently
disabled or damaged.
• Charge only MILWAUKEE M18™ Lithium-Ion packs.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal
injury or damage.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not charge bat-
tery pack in rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not
use battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive
atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materi-
als) because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing battery pack, possibly causing fire.
