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 produces intense heat which increases the risk of fire and explosion.
Do not work with the worklight in potentially explosive areas.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the worklight has been automatically switched off.
The battery can be damaged. Ensure that the battery is charged and that the worklight has cooled before switching on the worklight again.
Use only original Bosch accessories.
The light source cannot be replaced. If the light source is defective, the entire cordless worklight must be replaced.
Remove the batteries from the worklight before carrying out any work on the worklight (e.g. assembly, maintenance, etc.) as well as when transporting and storing the worklight. 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 illumination in road traffic.
Keep the minimum distance between the cordless 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 lamp head while the cordless worklight is operating. The lamp head warms up during operation and can cause burns if this heat accumulates.
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.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer.
This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
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.
Never swallow button cells. Swallowing button cells can result in severe internal burns and death within two hours.

Ensure that the button cell is kept out of the reach of children.

If you suspect that someone has swallowed a button cell or that a button cell has entered the body in another way, seek medical attention immediately.
Stop using the worklight if the battery compartment cover no longer closes; remove the button cell and have the worklight repaired.
Ensure that battery replacement is carried out properly. There is a risk of explosion.
Do not attempt to recharge the button cell and do not short circuit the button cell. The button cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
Remove and dispose of drained button cells correctly.
Drained button cells may leak and damage the product or cause personal injury.
Do not overheat the button cell or throw it into fire.
The button cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
Do not damage the button cell and or take the button cell apart. The button cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
Do not allow damaged button cells to come into contact with water. Leaking lithium may mix with water to create hydrogen, which could cause a fire, an explosion, or personal injury.

Assembly

Putting the button cell into operation (see figure A)

The cordless worklight is fitted with a button cell so that it can be detected by the mobile device even if no battery (8) is inserted. Remove the separating film between the button cell (12) and the button cell contact when using the tool for the first time.
To open the battery compartment cover (11), turn it anticlockwise with a screwdriver and then lift off the battery compartment cover. Remove the film from the button cell contact and close the battery compartment cover back up.

Battery Charging (Accessory)

Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your power tool
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 worklight off when the battery is drained.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the worklight has been automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged. Ensure that the battery is charged and that the worklight has cooled before switching on the worklight again.
To remove the battery (8), press the release button (10) and pull the battery out of the cordless worklight. Do not use force to do this.
