Using the Milwaukee 2119 - 22 USB Rechargeable Utility Hot Stick Light is a breeze. First, charge the REDLITHIUM® USB batteries using the included charger and wall plug or vehicle plug. You can also charge them internally through the Micro - USB port. Once the batteries are charged, attach them to the hot stick light. Turn on the light and choose between the high (350 lumens) or low (100 lumens) brightness setting depending on your needs. When using it, make sure to keep it within the tested 100KV limit. It can survive a 40 - foot drop, but try to handle it with care anyway. Since it's IP67 rated, it can handle water and dust, but avoid submerging it for extended periods. For maintenance, keep the body clean and check the batteries regularly. If you notice any issues, reach out as it's covered by a 5 - year tool warranty and a limited lifetime LED warranty.
