Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your new worklight. Read
this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully
before using your new worklight.
Charging/recharging the worklight
This unit is shipped in a partially charged state. Charge unit
BEFORE first use using the 240 volt plug pack charger for 24
hours (maximum). Recharge after each use. Recharge the
unit every two months when it has not been used regularly.
The charging status LED lights while the unit is charging
and stays lit when the unit is fully-charged. When the
worklight dims, the unit needs recharging. When the charge
status LED shuts off, the unit is completely out of charge.
Note: The worklight can be used while it is charging;
however this is not recommended as it increases
charging time.

WARNING: to reduce the risk of injury or property damage:
follow all directions found in the “Important safety
instructions” section of this instruction manual when
operating this worklight.
Operating the worklight
To turn the light on, slide the switch to the right. To turn it
off, slide the switch back. The worklight can be pivoted by
rotating the light tube housing.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the unit, rotate the housing
carefully when pivoting the worklight and do not “force” the
housing beyond the designed degree of rotation.
Using the hanging hooks
The unit comes equipped with two hanging hooks built
into the handle to allow you to position the worklight for
convenient, hands-free operation. These pull straight up
from either side of the handle.
CAUTION: to reduce the risk of product damage:
•
Take care not to use force when pulling the hanging
hooks out of the handle. Always pull straight up to avoid
breakage.
•
Use the hanging hooks to hang the worklight only. The
hooks are not intended to support additional weight.
Do not attach anything additional to or hang anything
additional on the worklight or its hanging hooks or risk
of breakage may occur.
•
Do not hang the light from electrical wires or anything
that it is not secure.
•
When light is hung by the hooks, do not shake the light
or object that it is hanging from.
•
The hanging hooks are not intended to be used to store
the unit. Carefully push the hooks down into the handle
before storing.
Care and maintenance
General cleaning and maintenance
All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and
more rapidly at higher temperatures. When the unit is not
in use, we recommend that the battery is charged at least
every 60 days.
Never submerge the unit in water. If the unit gets dirty,
gently clean the outer surfaces of the worklight unit with
a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and
detergent.
Periodically inspect the condition of adapters, connectors
and wires. Contact manufacturer to replace any components
that have become worn or broken.
