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.
- 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.
Only use the worklight in indoor areas.
- 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.
Do not place the worklight near implants or other medical devices such as pacemakers or insulin pumps. The magnet on the worklight generates a field that can impair the function of implants and medical devices.
- Keep the worklight away from magnetic data carriers and magnetically sensitive devices. The effect of the magnet can lead to irreversible data loss.
- Do not mount the worklight overhead using the mounting magnet. There is a risk of injury if it falls down.
- Check whether the mounting magnet can support the worklight permanently. There is a risk of injury if it falls down.
- Do not secure the worklight to electrical cables or other non-secure objects. There is a risk of fire and injury.
- If the worklight is secured with a magnet or utility hook, do not strain it with additional weight and check that the hold is secure. The magnet and utility hook are designed to solely bear the weight of the worklight and an inserted rechargeable battery. If there is additional weight, the worklight could break or fall down.
- If the worklight is secured with a magnet or utility hook, do not move the worklight or the object to which it is secured. The worklight could fall down.
- When using the worklight in an elevated position, secure it adequately with a fall protection system. This will enable you to avoid material damage and personal injury if you inadvertently drop the worklight.
