Battery Torch with LED

For the side parts, shorten 2 of the wooden strips (2) to 80 mm with the jigsaw or scroll saw (side parts 3+4). Then take one of the two remaining

wooden strips (100x25 mm / side part 1, pag. 7). For the recess for the micro slide switch (8), drill 2 holes (ø 6mm) next to each other. Then work out

the long hole cleanly with a key ﬁle. For the push switch drill a ø 8mm hole. Then drill a blind hole ø 12mm approx. 8 mm deep.

Note: Make sure that at least 2 mm of materials remains from the wooden strip.

For the handle, drill a ø 2mm hole. Drill a 2 mm hole in the last strip (2) also for the handle (side part 2).

Transfer the position for the reﬂector opening from the template

(page 5). Use a ø 3mm drill bit to drill a hole for the saw blade to pass

through. Then guide the blade and saw out the reﬂector opening (ø

35mm).

Transfer the position of the 4 drillings for the protective screen from

the template and drill through them with a ø 2mm drill bit.

Glue the ﬁnished frame strips together on the speciﬁc glue surfaces

as shown. Make sure that the 8 mm hole for the push switch of strip 1

points inwards. Let the glue dry well.

Glue the lid plate to the ﬁnished frame as shown.

Deburr the aluminium strips (5) cleanly with a ﬁle. Drill the ø 3mm

holes according to the template (page 5). Then bend the aluminium

strips according to the bending template (see page 5).

Screw the handle tight form both sides with a washer (14) and a

tapping screw (12) as shown.

Insert the reﬂector (10) into the opening (ø 35mm) into the opening as

shown. If necessary glue it with superglue.

Insert the LED (7) into the opening in the reﬂector (10) as shown.

If necessary glue it with superglue.

Insert the push switch (9) into the blind hole provided from the inside

and screwtight from the outside with the nut provided.

Note: Wiring can also be done without soldering!

Cut 3 approx. 80 mm long pieces from the connecting wire (11) and

strip the insulation on both sides. Connect a piece of wire (80 mm) to

the right connector of the push switch (9), feed it through the slide

switch opening and connect the other end to the left connector of the

slide switch (8). Guide the red wire from the battery holder through

the side pannel opening and connect it to the center connector o

the slide switch (8). Fix a second wire (80 mm) to the still free (right)

connector of the slide switch, lead it through the opening and connect

the other end to the left connector of the push switch. Connect the 3rd

wire from the left connector of the push switch to the anode of the

LED (7). Connect the black wire of the battery holder with the cathode

(-) of the LED (7). Finally insert or glue the slide switch into the switch

opening.

Functional check:

Insert 2 AA (Mignon) batteries in the battery holder. When the slide switch is in the left (up) position, the LED does not light up. If you press the

button, the LED lights up. In this position you can enter the Morse code (see Morse Code page 4). If you slide the slide switch to the right (down), the

LED lights contantly (lamp).
