Quick guide from the manual
The Bosch GLI 12V-330 Professional is a cordless work light designed for mobile, temporary illumination in dry indoor and outdoor areas. It is not intended for general room lighting. Key features include a swiveling lamp head (up to 200°), multiple mounting options (utility hook, snap hook, magnets, and tripod mount), and adjustable brightness.
Operation
To operate the light, insert a charged battery into the battery holder until it clicks into place. Press the on/off switch to turn the light on at maximum brightness. To adjust the brightness in two stages, hold down the on/off switch until the desired level is reached. Press the switch again to turn the light off.
Mounting options
- Utility hook: Allows hanging the light on an object.
- Snap hook: Enables attaching the light to a rope or belt.
- Magnetic attachment: Magnets allow fixing the light to magnetic materials. Keep fingers away from the rear of the stand when attaching to avoid pinching.
- Tripod mount: The 1/4" mount allows the light to be screwed onto a standard tripod.
Battery handling and safety
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Protect the battery from moisture, water, and heat (including continuous sunlight). If the light flashes three times and shines with reduced brightness, the battery is nearly empty. If the light switches off due to temperature protection, allow it to cool down before turning it back on.
Maintenance
The work light is maintenance-free. Clean the plastic lens only with a dry, soft cloth; do not use detergents or solvents. The light source cannot be replaced; if it is defective, the entire unit must be replaced.
