Safety Notes

Safety Warnings for Cordless Worklights

Read all safety warnings and all instruc-tions. Failure to follow the warnings and in-structions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Please read and observe all safety warnings and instructions enclosed with the battery or the power tool with which the battery was provided.
Handle the cordless worklight with care. The cordless worklight generates intense heat, which leads to increased danger of fire and explosion.
Do not work with the cordless worklight in hazardous areas.
After the automatic shut-off of the cordless worklight, do not continue to press the On/Off button. The battery could become damaged.
Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the light beam yourself (not even from a distance).
Use only original Bosch accessories.
Do not cover off the lamp head while operating the cordless worklight. The lamp head heats up during oper-ation and can cause burns when the heat accumulates.
Do not use the cordless worklight in road traffic. The cordless worklight is not approved for illumination in road traffic.
Before any work on the cordless worklight itself (e.g. assembling, maintenance, etc.), as well as when trans-porting and storing, remove the battery from the cord-less worklight.
Do not allow children to use the cordless worklight. It is intended for professional use. Children can unintentionally blind themselves or other persons.
CAUTION! Do not stare into the light beam for longer periods. The optical radiation can be harmful for your eyes.
Keep the minimum distance between the cordless worklight and all illuminated sur-faces and objects. Illuminated objects may overheat if the worklight is less than this dis-tance away from them.
Before switching on the cordless worklight using the Bosch application, ensure that you have visual contact with the cordless worklight and that you have taken all safety precautions.
This cordless worklight is not intended for use by chil-dren and persons with physical, sensory or mental lim-itations or a lack of experience or knowledge.
This cordless worklight can be used by children aged 8 or older and by persons who have physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge if a person responsible for their safety supervises them or has instructed them in the safe operation of the cordless worklight and they understand the associated dangers. Otherwise, there is a danger of operating errors and injuries.
Use only the carrying handle to carry and align the cordless worklight. The heat sink can heat up during op-eration.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-er metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-tate the respiratory system.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-tery pack.
Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch product. This measure alone protects the battery against dangerous overload.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.

Assembly

Battery Charging (Accessory)

Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is empty, the cordless worklight is switched off by means of a protective circuit.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the cordless worklight has been automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.

To remove the battery 12, press the battery unlocking button 2 and pull the battery toward the rear out of the cordless worklight. Do not exert any force when doing this. Observe the notes for disposal.

Operation

Initial Operation
Inserting the battery

Unlock the lock of the battery pack cover 2 and fold up the battery pack cover 3.
Insert the charged battery 12 into lamp head 4 until it can be felt to engage and faces flush against the lamp head 4.
Close the battery pack cover 3 and then the lock of the battery pack cover 2.
Make sure that the rubber lip is seated correctly when closing the battery pack cover. Otherwise protection against dust and splash water will not be ensured.

Changing the Button Cell (see figure B)
The cordless worklight is equipped with a CR2032 button cell so that it can be detected by the mobile terminal device even if no battery pack 12 is inserted.
To change the button cell, unlock the lock of the battery pack cover 2 and fold up the battery pack cover 3. Unscrew the screw of the battery lid 9 and take off the battery lid 10. Re-move the empty button cell and insert a new button cell. Make sure that the battery holder is not damaged when removing the battery. Make sure that the plus pole of the button cell faces upwards.
Remove the separating film between the button cell 11 and the battery holder when using the tool for the first time.
Close the battery pack cover 3 and then the lock of the battery pack cover 2.

Make sure that the rubber lip is seated correctly when closing the battery pack cover. Otherwise protection against dust and splash water will not be ensured.

A warning will be displayed in the app before the button cell is fully used up.

Standing Up
Carefully fold out the pedestal and place the cordless work-light on the floor. Ensure that it has a firm footing.

Fastening to the tripod

You can use the tripod mount 7 to screw the cordless work-light onto a tripod.
Tighten the 5/8″ screw. Ensure that the tripod has a firm footing.

Swivelling the Lamp Head (see figure A)
The lamp head is attached to the handle. The lamp head can be set to five positions using the handle.

Switching On and Off

To start the cordless worklight, press the On/Off switch 1.
To switch off the cordless worklight, press the On/Off switch 1 again.
To save energy, only switch the cordless worklight on when using it.

Adjusting the Brightness
Press the On/Off switch 1 briefly to switch on the cordless worklight at maximum brightness. To adjust the brightness in 2 stages, hold down the On/Off switch 1 until the required brightness is obtained.

Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
When exceeding the allowable heat-sink temperature of 60 °C, the cordless worklight switches off. Allow the cordless worklight to cool down, then switch the cordless worklight on again.

Control via App

The cordless worklight is equipped with a Bluetooth® module which enables wireless data transfer to certain mobile termi-nal devices which have a Bluetooth® interface (e.g. smart-phone, tablet).
In order to control the cordless worklight via Bluetooth®, you will need the “Bosch Toolbox” app. Download the app from the corresponding app store (Apple App Store, Google Play Store).
Then select the “Floodlight” subitem in the app. The display of your mobile terminal device will show you all subsequent steps required to connect the cordless worklight to the termi-nal device.
The following information will be available when a connection has been established with the mobile terminal device: remote control, time control, combining multiple cordless worklights in one group.

Working Advice
Shortly before the cordless worklight switches off because of an empty battery, it will flash 3 times and shine with reduced brightness.
