Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be fol-

Read all instructions before using this tool!

1. Avoid eye damage. Do not shine light directly into the eyes of people or

animals. Temporary blindness can occur.

becomes very hot. Allow the Search Light to cool down before performing any

maintenance.

3. Avoid overheating the Search Light. Do not block the lens and reﬂector during

operation.

4. Observe work area conditions. Do not use electrically powered tools in the

presence of ﬂammable gases or liquids.

corrosion.

7. Use the right tool for the job. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool

for a purpose for which it was not intended.

8. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears

damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly

and perform its intended function. Do not use if any parts are broken; or any

other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged

should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualiﬁed technician. Do not use

the Search Light if the switch does not turn On and Off properly.

9. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use

accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available

from Harbor Freight Tools.

10. This unit is water-resistant only. This unit is not intended to be waterproof

or submersible.

Note: Performance of this Search Light may vary depending on variations in local

line voltage while charging, or Battery power.

Battery Precautions

1. Read all instructions and warnings on the Battery before charging the

battery.

2. To avoid accidents, charge the supplied Battery only. Use only the attached

charging adapters for charging the internal Battery.

3. Replace a dead Battery with only the same type (see Speciﬁcations, page

2).

4. Do not expose the Battery to rain or wet conditions.

5. To avoid damage of cable and plug, never pull the cable to disconnect the

charging cord.

6. Do not use the charging cable if the cable or plug are damaged.

7. Do not touch the Battery poles with any conductive source.

8. Do not store the Battery in a box with other metal objects.

9. Do not throw the Battery in a ﬁre or in the general trash. Contact your local

hazardous waste disposal authority for proper disposal.

10. Always recharge the Battery when the Search Light performance begins to

diminish. Severe heat is most destructive to a Battery; the more heat generated,

the faster the Battery loses power. A Battery that gets too hot can be permanently

damaged. Never over-discharge a Battery by using the tool even after tool

performance is decreasing. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop

the tool, and recharge the Battery.
