Safety Notes
Safety Warnings for Cordless Worklights
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous 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 in-
tense heat, which leads to increased danger of fire and explosion.
Do not work with the cordless worklight in hazardous areas.
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 accumu-
lates.
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, mainte-
nance, 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 profes-
sional 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.
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 pa-
per 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 con-
tact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tions 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 an-
other 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.

Technical Data
Assembly
Battery Charging (Accessory) (see figure A)
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 reducing its service life. In-
terrupting 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.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control which allows charging only
within a temperature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is
achieved in this manner.
