WARNING!

RISK OF LIFE AND ACCIDENTS IN INFANTS

AND CHILDREN! Never leave

children unattended with the pack-

aging material. Risk of suﬀocation. Keep children away from the product.

WARNING!

DANGER TO LIFE AND RISK OF ACCI-

DENTS FOR INFANTS AND

CHILDREN! Keep batteries out of

the reach of children. Do not leave the batteries lying around. There is a risk of children or animals swallowing them. Consult a doctor immediately if a battery is swallowed.

J Children or persons who lack the

knowledge or experience to use the device or whose physical, sensory or intellectual capacities are limited must never be allowed to use the device without supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their

6 GB/IE 6 GB/IE

safety. Children must never be allowed to play with the device.

J This product is not a toy and should

be kept out of the reach of children. Children are not aware of the dangers associated with handling electrical products.

J Do not use the article if you detect

any kind of damage. The LED cannot be replaced.

CAUTION! DANGER

OF EXPLOSION! Do

not operate the lamp in potentially explosive environments in which there are inﬂammable

vapours, gases or dusts.

CAUTION! RISK OF

INJURY! Broken lamp

glass must be replaced before any further use is made of

the lamp.

Safety advice

Product-speciﬁc safety instructions

J Do not expose the solar lamp to

extreme temperatures, strong vibrations or heavy mechanical loads.

J Make sure that the solar panel is

free of dirt and free of snow and ice in winter. Otherwise the performance of the solar panel will diminish.

Cold temperatures have a negative inﬂuence on the operating life of the rechargeable batteries.

In the event of damage, repairs or other problems with the light, please contact an electrician. The LEDs cannot be replaced!

CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY!

Before installing the product, ensure that there are no water pipes or electrical wiring in or under the ground or substrate.

J The ﬂoor light must be installed

only in areas to which there is limit-

ed access (e.g. footway edge / path). The ﬂoor light is adequately anchored only when installed in a concrete substrate. Therefore, in the case of installation in soil or in wooden substrates, you should ensure that the ﬂoor light is not placed in areas that are accessed by vehicles (e.g. parking spaces, vehicle drives) or on which you use garden equipment (e.g. snow clearers). Failure to observe this advice could result in the ﬂoor light being lifted out of the substrate and possible damage to the product and / or injury.

J Dispose of the light in the proper

way if the lamp glass or the cover of the solar cell

is damaged.

Safety instructions for rechargeable batteries

J CAUTION! DANGER

OF EXPLOSION! Use only rechargeable batter-

ies of the recommended type. Other

rechargeable or single-use batteries could explode during charging.

Otherwise the rechargeable batteries may overheat, become a ﬁre hazard

J Chemical ﬂuids that damage the

RISK OF EXPLOSION!

Never throw rechargeable batteries into ﬁre or water.

product may leak out of outdated or used rechargeable batteries. Remove, therefore, the rechargeable battery

when the lamp is not required for any length of time.

J Wear protective gloves! If they come

into contact with skin, leaked or damaged rechargeable batteries could cause chemical burns; you should therefore wear suitable protective gloves at all times if such an event occurs.

J Only use rechargeable batteries of

the right size and of the recommended type (see section on ”Technical data”).

J Ensure correct polarity. This is indi-

cated in the battery compartment for the rechargeable battery.

Functioning

The solar panel installed in the article converts sunlight into electrical energy and stores it in 2 NiMH batteries. Switches on the light as it begins to get dark. The in-built light-emitting diodes are a very long-life and energy-saving light source. The light duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the angle of light on the solar panel and the temperature (the battery capacity is temperature-dependent). A vertical angle of light at temperatures above the freezing point is ideal. The battery does not achieve maximum capacity until after several charge and discharge cycles.

If the lamp has not been charged for an extended period of time (1 - 2 months), you could ﬁnd that the rechargeable batteries have entered a dormant state. Charge and discharge the rechargeable batteries

Functioning / Installation

a number of times in succession to reactivate them.

Charging the rechargeable Battery

The charging time of the battery depends on the intensity of the sunlight and the angle of incidence of the light on the solar cell Place the solar cell as possible to the angle of incidence of the light. In this way you will receive the highest light levels.

The surface of the light can reach a temperature of 60 °C. Note: The load capacity of the lamp glass

Note: Before you start work make yourself familiar with each step of the installation, otherwise have the product installed by electrician. Note: The ﬂoor light must be installed only in areas to which there is limited access (e.g. footway edge / path). The ﬂoor light is adequately anchored only when installed in a concrete substrate. Therefore, in the case of installation in soil or in wooden substrates, you should ensure that the ﬂoor light is not placed in areas that are accessed by vehicles (e.g. parking spaces, vehicle drives) or on which you use garden equipment (e.g. snow clearers). Failure to observe this advice could result in the ﬂoor light being lifted out of the substrate and possible damage to the product and/or injury. Note: The batteries have been preinstalled in your device at the factory. Note: Ensure that the light is installed so that the solar cell

is exposed to

direct sunlight.

10 GB/IE 10 GB/IE

Note: You have the choice of installing the light in the ground or in a substrate such as wood (e.g. patio) or concrete. Installation in a wooden or concrete ﬂoor requires a drill and hole cutter suitable for use on wood respectively. Note: To do this you will require a Phillips screwdriver and an Allen key.

CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY!

Consult the drill manufacturer‘s operating manual before you use your drill.

CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY!

Before installing the product, ensure that there are no water pipes or electrical wiring in or under the ground or substrate.

Installing the ﬂoor light in soil or wooden substrates

1. Choose a suitable location for the ﬂoor light.

2. First excavate a hole with a depth to match the height of the light in the ground or drill a correspondingly sized hole in a wooden substrate.

Note: Bear in mind that the deco-

rative collar top of the substrate surface later (see Fig. F).

Installing the ﬂoor light in concrete substrates

Note: A quantity of mixed concrete is

required for this stage of the installation. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Choose a suitable location for the ﬂoor light.

2. Drill a hole in the concrete substrate.

Note: Ensure that the depth of the

hole corresponds with the depth of
