The WM56 Flood Light is ready to use after unpacking but it is advisable to fully charge the battery before first operation (see
point 5.2).
You can switch on the Flood Light via pressing the On/Off switch (5) in the front area of the handhold. Because of the integrated
softstart function the halogen bulb starts to light 0.5 seconds later.
You can switch off the Flood Light via pressing the On/off switch (5) again.

2. Remove the plastic cover from the plug socket (3);
3. Connect the plug of the charging cable (1)/(2) and the plug socket (3);
4. Connect the charging cable (1) / (2) with the power source;
The whole charging process is now carried out automatically and indicated via permanent lighting of the yellow LED (7). As the
charging advances, the intensity of the yellow LED decreases until complete termination. The complete lapsed LED (7) indi-
cates that the battery is charged to its full capacity and the charge process is completed.
After complete charging please disconnect the charging cable from the lamp.
Advice for battery care:
To increase the lifetime of the lamps battery, the charging process should not be cancelled before the yellow LED is lapsed.
Before every tenth charging process the battery should be discharged until the automatic shut down. If you only rarely use the
flood light please fully charge the battery every half year due to self discharge.
