- BEFORE USING THE BATTERY AND LIGHT, READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL AND ALL LABELS ON THE BATTERY AND LIGHT.
- AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not charge battery in rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not use battery or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing battery, possibly causing fire.
- CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a charging battery. Vented gases may explode.
- USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger or battery manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, always unplug charger before cleaning or maintenance.
- DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY PACKS. Battery may explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when batteries are burned.
- DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE battery. Do not use a battery or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
- DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to a MILWAUKEE® service facility.
- BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged battery leaks any fluid, use rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash with soap and water, and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery fluids, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
- DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. 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. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit. A short circuited battery pack may cause fire, personal injury, and product damage.
- STORE in a cool, dry place. Do not store battery where temperatures may exceed 50°C (120°F) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during the summer.
- 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.
- KNOW YOUR LIGHT. Read this manual carefully to learn your light’s applications and limitations as well as potential hazards associated with this type of light.
- MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility for a replacement.

SYMBOLOGY
BATTERY
WARNINGTo reduce the personal injury, risk and of fire, product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your light, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
Maintenance and Storage
Do not expose your battery or rechargeable light to water or rain, or allow them to get wet. This could damage the light and battery. Do not use oil or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery. The plastic casing will become brittle and crack, causing a risk of injury. Store batteries at room temperature away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over 50°C (120° F)). MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion batteries maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery types. After about a year of storage, charge the battery as normal.
WARNINGTo reduce the explosion, never risk burn of or injury or incinerate a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and materials are created.
Disposing of MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion Battery
MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion batteries are more environmentally friendly than some other types of power tool batteries. Always dispose of your battery according to federal, state and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your area for recycling locations.
Even discharged batteries contain some energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the terminals to prevent the battery from shorting, which could cause a fire or explosion.
