FESTOOL SYSLITE STL 450 Surface Control Light

Introduction

Professionals in woodworking, construction, and other professions can use the compact, high-performing FESTOOL SYSLITE STL 450 Surface Control Light. Its distinctive 360-degree light dispersion and bright, shadow-free illumination make it perfect for working in low light, inspecting surfaces, and lighting up vast spaces. The SYSLITE STL 450 is a multipurpose tool for on-site or workshop use because it is lightweight, robust, and has a rechargeable battery.

Safety instructions

WARNING! Read and observe all information and safety in­structions. Failure to observe the information and safety instructions may lead to electric shocks, fires and/or serious injuries. Keep all safety information and in­structions for future reference.

• Handle the device with care. The device may generate heat which in­creases the risk of fire and explo­sions.
• Never use the device in potentially explosive environments.
• Do not cover the device when switched on. The device heats up during operation and can cause burns.
• Warning of harmful light radiation. Do not look into the light beam for long periods. Do not di­rect the light beam towards other people or animals. Optical radiation can damage the eyes.
• Do not use the device for illuminat­ing the road. The device is not ap­proved for illuminating the road. Do not connect the device to a pow­er supply when it is wet. If the de­vice falls into water, it must be dried before being connected to a power supply.
• Check the mains plug and the pow­er cable regularly in order to pre­vent a hazard. Disconnect any dam­aged power cables from the power supply immediately and have them replaced by an authorised service workshop.
• When placing the device on a tri­pod, ensure that it is stable. In the event of unstable footing or insecure mounting, the device may fall and cause physical injury, electric shock or material damage.
• Place the tripod on a dry, level and stable surface. If the legs of the tri­pod are not folded out to the limit stop or if the tripod has unstable footing, this can cause physical in­jury, electric shock or material damage.
• Do not continue to use the device if it is damaged.
• The device is not a toy! Keep the de­vice away from children.
• Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall al­ways be supplied via residual cur­rent device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Intended use
The grazing light is designed for in­specting surfaces when working in harsh environments. Ensure the electri­cal safety of the power connection. Intended for use in an environment in which a deposit of non-conductive dust on the device can be expected. The device is not suitable for illuminat­ing rooms in residential buildings.

Temperature monitoring

When the permissible operating temperature range is not reached/is exceeded, the grazing light switches itself off.

Setting up

• The grazing light has a range of 2.50 m.
• When this range is exceeded, uneven surfaces may not be reliably detected.
• To ensure the surface is perfectly illuminated, position the grazing light at a 90° angle to the surface [2].

The grazing light can illuminate various target surfaces:

• Floor -> section 7.1
• Wall -> section 7.1 and section 7.2
• Ceiling -> section 7.2
• Inclined surfaces -> section

Setting device up for use at floor level
The grazing light can be set up in two different positions

Setting device up for use above floor level

• Only use the device together with the
• Festool ST DUO 200 tripod and the
• Festool AD-ST DUO 200 adapter (some items not included).
• Follow the operating instructions for the tripod and the adapter.
• Place the tripod on a dry, level and stable surface.
• Fold out the tripod legs to the limit stop.

Connecting the tripod and adapter  

• Fold out the tripod to the limit stop
• Place the adapter in the required position on the tripod up to the limit stop.
• Turn the adapter until it clicks into place.

Connecting the adapter and grazing light  

• Only fit the grazing light clip to the marked area on the grazing light
• Insert the back of the grazing light into the grazing light clip.

• Positioning the grazing light
• Use the two rotary hinges to align the grazing light in the direction of the target surface.
• Adjust the height of the tripod.

Maintenance and care
