Safety Instructions for Worklights
Read all the safety information and instructions. Failure to observe the safety information and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
- Please read and observe all safety and general instructions included with the battery or with the power tool supplied with the battery.
- Handle the worklight with care. The worklight generates a lot of heat, which can lead to an increased risk of fire and explosion.
- Do not use the worklight in potentially explosive atmospheres.
- Do not press the on/off switch again after the worklight has switched off automatically. This can damage the rechargeable battery. Ensure that the rechargeable battery is charged and that the worklight has cooled down before switching the worklight on again.
- The light source contained in the worklight may only be replaced by the manufacturer or qualified specialists.
Maintain the minimum distance between the worklight and all illuminated surfaces and objects. Illuminated objects may overheat if this distance is not maintained.
- Do not cover the worklight head while the light is in operation. The worklight head warms up during operation and can cause burns if this heat accumulates.
- Remove the rechargeable battery from the worklight or pull out the mains plug before transporting or storing it. The worklight may heat up.
- Use a residual current device when operating the worklight in a damp environment. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
- When using the worklight in an elevated position, secure it adequately with a fall protection system. This will enable you to avoid material damage and personal injury if you inadvertently drop the worklight.
- Do not secure the cordless worklight to electrical cables or other non-secure objects. There is a risk of fire and injury.
- If the worklight is secured with a utility hook, do not strain it with additional weight and check that the hold is secure. Utility hooks are designed to solely bear the weight of the worklight and an inserted rechargeable battery. If there is additional weight, the worklight could break or fall down.
- If the cordless worklight is secured with a magnet or utility hook, do not move the cordless worklight or the object to which it is secured. The cordless worklight could fall down.
- Do not sit or step on the worklight. The worklight could become damaged.
- Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
- If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
- When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
- Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
| Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting. |
- Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
- Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery.
- Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
