Using the DeWalt DCL050 is easy. First, make sure it's fully charged. You can set the brightness according to your needs. If you need a lot of light, choose the 500 - lumen setting. For longer use, go for the 250 - lumen one. You can pivot the head up to 140 degrees to direct the light where you want it. Use the built - in telescoping and 360° rotating hook to hang it on 2 - foot materials or other places. If you want to carry it around, add a belt hook. When it comes to maintenance, keep the lens cover clean. Avoid dropping it or exposing it to harsh conditions. Charge it regularly to keep the battery in good condition. And always follow safety rules when using it on the jobsite.
