Personal Safety  
Power Tool Use and Care  
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use  
common sense when operating a power tool. Do  
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the  
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment  
of inattention while operating power tools may result  
in serious personal injury.  
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.  
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid  
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for  
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the  
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools  
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power  
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.  
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning  
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to  
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal  
injury.  
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool  
for your application. The correct power tool will do the  
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.  
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not  
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be  
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be  
repaired.  
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before  
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or  
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures  
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.  
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and  
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool  
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power  
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any  
other condition that may affect the power tool’s  
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired  
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained power tools.  
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance  
at all times. This enables better control of the power  
tool in unexpected situations.  
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.  
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving  
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be  
caught in moving parts.  
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust  
extraction and collection facilities ensure that  
these are connected and properly used. Use of these  
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.  
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are  
less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,  
in accordance with these instructions and in the  
manner intended for the particular type of power  
tool, taking into account the working conditions  
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool  
for operations different from intended could result in a  
hazardous situation.  
Service  
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
personnel using only identical replacement parts.  
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is  
maintained.

The spotlight’s circuitry will automatically dim the light  
when the battery’s power is reducing. This preserves the run  
time of the spotlight.  
The circuit also prevents deep discharge of the battery even  
if the light turns off from battery discharge. Recharge as  
soon as possible, as allowing a discharged battery to remain  
so will reduce the battery life.
