When using the DC020 worklight, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: a. Read all the instructions before using the DC020 worklight. b. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when a worklight is used near children. c. Do not use outdoors. d. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off ("O") position, then remove plug from outlet. e. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. f. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning. g. Do not operate any worklight with a damaged cord or plug, or after the worklight malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return worklight to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. h. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put worklight in water or other liquid. Do not place or store worklight where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. i. Always unplug before replacing the bulb. Replace bulb with same type rated 38 Watts. j. Connect to a properly grounded outlet. Refer to Grounding Instructions. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Safety Rules for Worklights WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not operate worklight or charger near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Internal sparks may ignite fumes causing personal injury. WARNING: Shock hazard. Remove battery pack before replacing the fluorescent bulb. • Vision may be impaired when looking directly into fluorescent light. • Do not expose worklight to wet or damp areas. Use only in a dry locations. Do not allow any liquid to get inside worklight. Do not submerge worklight in any liquid. • The worklight is intended for household and commercial use. • Do not operate without lens cover assembly attached. • Before using battery and charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack. • DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual. The worklight and battery pack are specifically designed to work together. • Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting worklight. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord. • Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. DC020 Heavy-Duty Cordless/Corded Worklight Lampe de travail industrielle avec/sans fil Reflector Inalámbrico/Con Cable de Alimentación para Trabajo Pesado • Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution. • An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. • Place the worklight in a position away from any heat source. • Do not operate worklight with a damaged cord or plug - have them replaced immediately. • Do not operate the worklight if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center. • Do not disassemble worklight. Take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire. • Disconnect the worklight from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk. • This worklight is designed to operate on 120 Volts, 60 Hz AC. It also operates on direct current (DC) through a fully charged battery pack. Do not use any other voltage. WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. Recycle or dispose of light bulb in accordance with applicable state regulations. If light bulb breaks, thoroughly wash hands and any other surface contacted. • The label on your worklight may include the following symbols. The symbols and their definitions are as follows: V volts A amperes Hz hertz W watts min minutes alternating current direct current Class I Construction alternating or direct current no no load speed grounded) earthing terminal Class II Construction safety alert symbol double insulated) BPM beats per minute .../min per minute RPM revolutions per minute F fahrenheit temp. C celsius temp. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Grounding Instructions The DC020 worklight must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The worklight is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualifed electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the worklight is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the worklight - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifed electrician. FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED WORKLIGHTS RATED LESS THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT The worklight is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch a. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketch b, may a GROUNDED b OUTLET BOX be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch b if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be GROUNDING PIN ADAPTER installed by a qualifed electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw. Use of Extension Cords Only use grounded extension cords that are rated for outdoor use and equipment with a thirdwire ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect a worklight or tool, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being supplied to the worklight or tool and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate your tool or worklight. The tables below indicate appropriate gauge for extension cords and the voltage drop caused by the use of extension cords, given different electrical loads. WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords because they can cause electrical shock. WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.

When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog number and voltage. Extended Run-Time battery packs deliver more run-time than standard battery packs. Consult the chart in this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs. The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and worklight, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS • Charge the battery packs only in DEWALT chargers. • DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
