NOTE: Do not look into the light beam for prolonged periods. The optical radiation may harm your eyes.

• Do not cover the lamp head while the cordless work light is operating. The lamp head warms up during operation and can cause burns if this heat accumulates.
•  In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapors 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 vapors 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.
•  Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

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.

• 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.
