Frequently Asked Questions - Syslite KAL II FESTOOL

How to charge the internal battery of the Festool Syslite KAL II?

Connect the mains charger or cigarette lighter adapter to the connection socket [1-4]. The charge display LED [1-1] indicates the status: fast green flashing = battery full, slow green = 80%, solid green = 90% (reduced charge), red flashing = fault, solid red = temperature out of range.

What is the maximum lighting duration with the internal battery?

In energy-saving mode (level 1, 30%), the battery life is 4 h 50 min. At full power (level 2, 100%), it is 2 hours.

Can I use the lamp with an external Festool battery?

Yes, the light can be used with Festool batteries from the BPC and BPS series. In this case, it only draws from the external battery capacity. Remove the mounting handle for use with an external battery.

What to do in case of a sudden power cut?

The light has a power cut mode. Press and hold the switch while connecting the charger adapter. If external power is interrupted, the lamp turns on automatically. To disable this mode, press the switch again.

How to clean the Festool Syslite KAL II?

Clean the plastic disk with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents. Keep the connection contacts of the light and battery clean.

What are the important safety precautions?

Never look into the beam of light (harmful radiation). Do not cover the device during operation (fire risk). Do not use in explosive environments. Keep away from persons with pacemakers (magnetic field).

What is the energy efficiency class of the light source?

The LED light source has energy efficiency class E.

Can I use the lamp outdoors?

The device is intended for indoor use only (protection class IP 2X). Do not use on public roads for street lighting.

How to mount the light on a tripod?

Use the threaded tripod connection [2-1] with UNC 1/4"-20 thread. Screw it onto a standard photo tripod.

Where can I have my Festool Syslite KAL II repaired?

Repairs must be carried out only by the manufacturer or an authorized workshop. Use original Festool parts. Find the nearest address at www.festool.fr/services.

6 Operation

Prior to initial operation: charge battery pack for approx. 4 h!

6.1 Charging the integral battery pack

▶ Insert the mains or vehicle charging adapter into the connecting socket [1-4].

When the light is switched off, the charging state indicator LED [1-1] displays the operating state of the internal battery for the duration of the charging process:

LED green - flashing quickly

Charging internal battery at maximum rate.

LED green - flashing slowly

80% of internal battery capacity exceeded.

LED green - continuous light

Internal battery is charged to 90% and then charged fully at reduced power.

LED red - flashing

General fault indication, e.g. incomplete contact, short circuit, battery faulty.

LED red - continuous light

Battery temperature is outside the permitted range.

LED orange

Power failure mode, see chapter 6.5.

6.2 On/Off switch [1-2]

The ON/OFF switch [1-2] has three settings:

• Press once -> Switch on in lighting mode in energy-saving stage (Stage 1: 30%)
• Press twice -> Switch to max. luminosity (Stage 2: 100%)
• Press three times -> switch off

6.3 Voltage monitoring

If the minimum operating voltage is not met during lighting mode with either internal or external battery pack, the device shifts to emergency mode. It reduces luminosity and switches off after 2 minutes.

6.4 Temperature monitoring

If the device temperature does not remain within the specified limits, the working light switches to emergency mode. It reduces luminosity and then switches off after 2 minutes.

6.5 Power failure mode

The working light has a power failure mode. It automatically lights up the work area in the event of a sudden power failure.

▶ Hold down the ON/OFF switch [1-2] and insert the mains charging adapter or car charging adapter in the connector socket [1-4].

The working light turns off and the charging indicator switches to flashing orange (charging) or continuous orange (fully charged). depending on the operating state.

In the event of an interruption to the external voltage supply, the working light automatically switches on.

Switching off the mode:

▶ Press the ON/OFF switch [1-2] again.

Charging indicator switches to standard mode, see chapter 6.1.

6.6 Operating with external Festool battery pack [2A] + [2B]

The working light can operate with any Festool battery pack from the BPC or BPS series. When connected to the external Festool battery pack, the working light only consumes power from this battery pack.

Only compatible Festool chargers can charge the Festool battery pack.

6.7 Setup options

Attachment handle [1-3]

The folding attachment handle allows you to hang the device from scaffolding or similar structures.

If you decide to power the device with an external Festool battery pack, the attachment handle must be detached beforehand [2A].

Setup angle

The working light can be set up in three different angles [3].

Tripod

A standard UNC 1/4"-20 photo tripod socket can be screwed onto the tripod socket bushing [2-1].

Magnetic foot with spherical head (part accessories) [4]

Strong magnetic fields may damage or destroy electronic or mechanical elements and devices. The same also applies to cardiac pacemakers. The required safety distances can be found in the manuals of these devices.

Risk of pinching fingers and hands at the magnet!

Check the area at the magnetic foot before use and clean if necessary.

Only use the magnetic foot for securing the Festool working light using one of the options described below:

Screw on magnetic foot at the tripod socket [2-1]. This can be rotated in all directions by loosening the clamping screw [4-1].

Secure the magnetic foot using one of three options:

[4A] Secure with a clamp

[4B] Magnetic mounting at the screwed-on adapter plate

[4C] Magnetic mounting with the adapter plate screwed to its stand
