7. Use the right tool for the job.Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment
to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for
which this tool was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the
rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool
for a purpose for which it was not intended.
8. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed
by a qualified technician as a high voltage hazard exists within the unit circuitry.
Battery replacement is not hazardous, however.
9. 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 tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.
10. 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.
11. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove
the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
12. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
13. Do not abuse the Adapter Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to
carry the adapter or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged
Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
14. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or“W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Note: Performance of this Spotlight may vary depending on variations in local line
voltage while charging, or Spotlight Battery power.

Charging Battery
Caution: Set the Spotlight On/Off Switch to the Off position before charging.
Never charge the Battery for over 16 hours. Charge only until the red LED
Battery Status Indicator shuts off. Do not operate the Spotlight while charging.
1. Open the Charging Port Cover (10) and plug the AC/DC Adapter (37) into the
charging port underneath, and the other end into the 120 VAC electrical outlet.
The Charging Status Indicator turns red, indicating charging. The Battery will
charge for approximately 13-16 hours if the AC Adapter is used.
When charging is complete, the Charging Status Indicator turns off, indicating
charging is complete.
2. Unplug the Adapter from the power source and store again in the Adapter
compartment of the Spotlight. Latch the Back Cover.
Note: Never attempt to charge the Battery (25) by using the Car Plug Adapter (36).
This Adapter should only be used to power the spotlight when the battery is
out of power.
Operation
Warning: Avoid eye damage. Do not shine light directly into the eyes of people
or animals. This Spotlight emits a high intensity beam and could cause
temporary blindness if shined directly into the eyes.
1. To turn the Spotlight on, hold the Rubber Grip handle with one hand, and push
the On/Off Switch with the other. The first stop is the low setting and the
second stop is the high setting.
2. To check the battery charge status, press the Battery Status Button (34) with
the light on. Note the number of yellow LEDs that illuminate. If there are 3, the
unit is almost fully charged. If there is only one, switch the unit off and recharge
it.
3. To position the Spotlight at rest, move the Stands to the desired position.
4. To turn the Spotlight off, pull the On/Off Switch back.
5. A 12VDC device that draws less than 10 Amps can be plugged into the 12V
Inlet/Outlet (8) and powered by this unit’s battery. This will only work while the
ON/OFF switch is in its OFF position. Never try to power a device that uses
more than 10 Amps.

Maintenance
1. Store in a clean and dry location.
2. Charge the Battery after each use, and every three months if not used.
3. If the 12 VDC cord does not function, the fuse may be blown. Unscrew the
metal nut at one end of the cord and remove the old fuse. If the wire inside is
broken, replace with another F10A250V (Fast-acting, 10 Amp, 250 Volt) fuse
of the same type.
Battery Replacement
1. Remove the screws at the top back of the spotlight and open the Hatch (26).
2. Carefully pull out the existing Battery and pull off the wire terminals.
3. Replace the Battery with a new one of the same type (See page 2).
4. Push the red wire connector onto the positive (+) Battery terminal and the
black wire connector onto the negative (–) Battery terminal. Be sure that the
wires are connected properly. Otherwise, the Spotlight will be damaged.
5. Place Battery back into the battery compartment. Close the Back Cover, and
install and tighten screws.
6. Charge the new Battery as described on page 4.
Bulb Replacement
Note: Make sure all parts are cool to the touch before
replacing the bulb.
1. Pull the Lens Ring Cover (1) off and set it aside.
Un-thread the Lens Holding Ring (2), being careful
not to allow the Lens (3) to fall out.
2. Be careful - the edges of the Lens may be sharp!
Remove Lens and gently set it aside, it is fragile.
3. Remove the Refractor (4) and detach the three
wires leading to the Bulb (5).
4. Squeeze the ends of the Bulb Retaining Spring
(6) together, and hold them - see A, right.
5. Swing the Bulb Retaining Spring (6) up and remove
it - see B, right.
6. Turn the Bulb (5) slightly counterclockwise and
slide it out - see C, right.
7. Using a clean rag, cloth or gloved hand, install a
proper replacement Bulb without touching the bulb
portion. If the bulb is touched, it must be cleaned with rubbing alcohol and
allowed to dry before being installed.
