Safety Notes

Safety Warnings for Cordless Worklight
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the cordless worklight has been automatically switched off. The battery can be 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 operation 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 transporting and storing, remove the battery from the cordless worklight.
Do not allow children to use the cordless worklight. It is intended for professional use. Children can unintentionally blind themselves or other persons.
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 other 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 occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery 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.
