We recom mend that all tool service be performed by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station. SERVICE MEN: Disconnect tool and/or charger from power source before servicing.

Batteries

Be alert for battery packs that are nearing their end of life. If you notice decreased tool performance or significantly shorter running time between charges then it is time to replace the battery pack. Failure to do so can cause the tool to operate improperly or damage the charger.

Cleaning

Certain cleaning agents and sol vents damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachlo ride, chlo rinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and house hold detergents that contain ammonia.
To avoid damage, clean the plastic lens of the cordless area light only with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions in this manual and in the battery charger manual. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not allow children to use the cordless area light. It is intended for professional use. Children can unintentionally blind themselves or other persons.
Do not operate area lights in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Area lights create heat and sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Do not expose area lights to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an area light will increase the risk of electric shock or fire.
After the automatic shut-off of the cordless area light, do not continue to press the On/Off button. The battery could become damaged.
Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the light beam yourself (not even from a distance).
Do not turn on/off the light without line of sight to the light. Operator working near the light may be startled by the sudden bright light (turn light on) or left out in the dark (turn light off). Turning light on/off when there is operator near the light can cause personal injury or property damage.
Do not cover the lamp head while operating the cordless area light. The lamp head heats up during operation and can cause burns or fire when the heat accumulates.
Do not use the cordless area light in road traffic. The cordless area light is not approved for illumination in road traffic.
Remove the battery from the cordless area light before any work on the cordless area light itself (e.g. assembling, maintenance, cleaning, etc.), as well as when transporting and storing.
Do not position the lighted area light head on or near flammable or combustible materials. The lens gets hot during use.
Do not touch the lens while the area light is in operation. Touching hot lens increases the risk of personal injury.
Do not splash the lens of lighted area light with liquids. Hot lens may shatter when cooler liquids are contacted.
The area light is ruggedly constructed. It should, however, be handled with care.
Use only original Bosch accessories.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Recharge only with Bosch chargers listed in the battery/charger list. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch product. This measure alone protects the battery against dangerous overload.
Use only Bosch BAT612 or the batteries listed in the battery/charger list. When using other batteries, e. g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property damage through exploding batteries.
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.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
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.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Check the charge level at least once a month, especially if used for emergency purposes. If the light seems dimmer, recharge the battery pack.
