Safety instructions

• Heat Warning: The worklight generates intense heat. Do not cover the lamp head during operation to prevent burns and fire hazards.
• Eye Safety: Do not look directly into the light beam, even from a distance.
• Distance: Maintain the minimum distance between the worklight and all illuminated surfaces/objects to prevent overheating.
• Battery Safety: Remove the battery before any work on the light (assembly, maintenance, transport, storage) to prevent accidental activation.

Product description

The worklight features an adjustable lamp head (4) attached to a carrying handle (8), a foldable stand (5), and a 5/8" tripod mount (7). The light is powered by Bosch 18V batteries.

Operation

Setup and mounting

Carefully fold out the stand (5) and place the worklight on a secure surface. For elevated lighting, use the 5/8" tripod mount (7) to secure the light to a tripod.

Swivelling the lamp head

The lamp head (4) can be adjusted into five different positions using the carrying handle (8).

Switching on and off

Press the On/Off switch (1) to turn the light on. Press it again to turn it off.

Adjusting brightness

Press the On/Off switch (1) briefly to turn the light on at maximum brightness. To adjust between the two brightness levels, hold down the On/Off switch (1) until the desired brightness is reached.

Battery

The worklight is compatible with Bosch GBA 18V and ProCORE18V batteries. Insert the battery into the holder until it clicks into place. To remove, press the battery unlocking button (2) and pull the battery out. The battery charge level can be checked by pressing the button on the battery indicator.

Maintenance and cleaning

The worklight 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 fails, the entire unit must be replaced.

Troubleshooting

If the worklight switches off automatically, it may be due to the temperature-dependent overload protection. Allow the unit to cool down before switching it on again. If the battery charge indicator shows no lights, the battery is defective and must be replaced.
