Using your DeWalt 20V Max cordless tripod light is a breeze. First, find a stable spot for the tripod. Use the latch mechanism on the handle to extend the legs easily. Then, extend the telescoping pole to up to 7 feet to reduce shadows and glare. You can direct the light where you need it using the rotating and pivoting head. Adjust the brightness according to your needs with the three available settings. When it comes to maintenance, keep the light and the tripod clean. Wipe them down after use to remove any dirt or debris. Store it in a dry place. Also, make sure to charge the battery properly to ensure over 11 hours of runtime. Be careful not to drop the light or subject it to heavy impacts, as the tough shroud can only take so much. If you notice any issues, contact DeWalt's customer service.
