Safety Instructions for Worklights
Read all the safety information and instructions. Failure to observe the safety information and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
- Please read and observe all safety and general instructions included with the battery or with the power tool supplied with the battery.
- Handle the worklight with care. The worklight generates a lot of heat, which can lead to an increased risk of fire and explosion.
- Do not use the worklight in potentially explosive atmospheres.
- Do not press the on/off switch again after the worklight has switched off automatically. This can damage the rechargeable battery. Ensure that the rechargeable battery is charged and that the worklight has cooled down before switching the worklight on again.
- Use only original Bosch accessories.
- The light source cannot be replaced. If the light source is defective, the entire worklight has to be replaced.
- Remove the rechargeable battery from the worklight before carrying out any work on the worklight (e.g. installation, maintenance, etc.) and during transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
- Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the light beam yourself (even from a distance).
- Do not use the worklight in road traffic. The worklight is not permitted for lighting in road traffic.
Maintain the minimum distance between the worklight and all illuminated surfaces and objects. Illuminated objects may overheat if this distance is not maintained.
| NOTE: Do not look into the light beam for prolonged periods. The optical radiation may harm your eyes. |
- Do not cover the worklight head while the light is in operation. The worklight head warms up during operation and can cause burns if this heat accumulates.
- Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
- If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
- When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
Protect the rechargeable battery against heat, e.g. including prolonged sun exposure, fire, water, and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short circuit.
- Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery.
- Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
- Do not modify or open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
- Store worklights that are not being used out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the worklight or these instructions to operate it. Worklights can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Use only the carrying handle to carry and align the worklight. The heat sink can heat up during operation.
