Assembly

Battery Charging (Accessory)

Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of cordless work light.
Note : The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before using your tool for the first time. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery. The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. A protective circuit switches the cordless work light off when the battery is drained.
D o not continue to press the On/Off switch after the work light has been automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged. Ensure that the battery is charged and that the work light has cooled before switching on the work light again. To remove the battery (1), press the release button (2) and pull the battery out of the cordless work light. Do not use force to do this. Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Battery charge indicator
The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the state of charge of the battery. For reasons of safety, it is only possible to query the state of charge when the cordless worklight is switched off. Press the button for the battery charge indicator or to show the state of charge. This is also possible when the battery is removed. If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be replaced.
