Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
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.

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.
