General Battery Pack / Charger Safety Warnings
•Use products only with the specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
•When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper 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.
•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
another battery pack.
•Do not charge other battery packs. The charger is only
suitable for use with the supplied battery pack and with
the voltages specified in the technical data. Otherwise,
there is a risk of fire and explosion.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
•In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
•Do not open the battery. There is danger of a short
circuit.
•Do not short-circuit the battery. There is danger of
explosion.
•Batteries must not be exposed to mechanical impacts.
•Protect electrical parts against moisture. To prevent an
electric shock, never immerse them in water or other
liquids during cleaning or operation. Never hold the
charger under running water. Please observe the
instructions for cleaning and maintenance.
•The charger is only suited for indoor use.
•Keep the charger clean. Contamination entails a risk of
electric shock.
•Do not operate the charger on highly combustible
ground (e.g. paper, textiles etc.) or in an inflammable
environment. The heat generated by the charger during
charging entails a risk of fire.
•Only use the charger for charging the battery. The

Information about the device
Device description
The device PWLS 10/ PWLS 10-20V is equipped with a light-
intense LED tube light with integrated inspection lamp. The
bright LED located inside the head also functions as torch. This
enables an illumination covering larger areas but also with pin-
point precision.
The LEDs have a luminous intensity of 110lux (300lm).
The lamp head can be rotated by 270° and vertically tilted into
7lock-in positions by up to 180°, thus guaranteeing nearly
unlimited lighting positions.
The soft grip rubber inlays at the handle ensure a firm hold.
With the integrated suspension hook you can easily hang the
lamp up.
and the preassembled belt clip facilitates transport and provides
faster access to the device.
The battery comes with its own battery level indication. As a
result you can check the current charging status without having
to connect it to the device.
Info
The device PWLS 10-20V is supplied without battery
and quick charger as accessories. You may use Trotec
Multiflex batteries20V 2Ah/ 4Ah and the
corresponding quick charger with the device (see
chapter Available accessories).
