Description
Yato cordless light 18V 6000LM (YT-829693) is a handheld light for the Yato 18 V battery system with two LED panels: a main panel lighting from above and a spotlight aimed to the side. The luminous flux stated by the manufacturer is 6000 lm and the power 7.4 W. The product is a body-only version without a battery or charger.
The light body is mounted on an arm adjustable through 180° , and the side light can also be turned 270° sideways. The arm folds so that the light points up, forwards or down without a separate stand. The foot formed by the handle and the battery slot keeps the light upright on a level surface.
The power switch also works as the mode selector: there is a torch mode and three spotlight power levels (bright, medium and dim). The light uses the same Li-Ion 18 V battery as the other tools in the Yato 18V range, and the operating time depends on the battery capacity.
The IP rating is IP20, which means the light is intended for indoor use and dry conditions. The light itself weighs 0.3 kg without the battery, and the body has a hook for hanging. The product’s protection class is III (safety extra-low voltage).
Uses and suitability:
The Yato cordless light 18V 6000LM is intended for lighting workstations and confined spaces when mains power is not available or a cable would get in the way.
- Workshop and service work: hung from the hook under a bonnet or under the chassis; turning the side light 270° aims the light at a bolt or connector without moving the light.
- Construction and installation sites: cabling, plumbing and electrical installations and suspended ceiling work, where the light stands on the floor or hangs from a scaffold.
- Property maintenance and warehouses: inspecting technical rooms, switchboards and shelf aisles; torch mode is enough for getting around, the spotlight for inspection.
- Users of the same range: the light uses the same batteries as, for example, the Yato cordless work light 18V / 230V 1600LM 20W, so one battery range covers both power tools and lighting.

Instructions for using the Yato cordless light 18V 6000LM:
Fitting the battery: push a charged Yato 18 V battery into the guides of the battery slot until the latch locks. Pull the battery lightly to make sure it does not come loose by itself. Use only compatible batteries and Yato chargers; the slot or the battery must not be modified.
Use: press the power switch once to switch on the light. Repeated presses switch between torch mode and the bright, medium and dim spotlight levels. Switch off the light by pressing the switch until the light goes out.
Aiming: fold the arm to the required angle within 180° and turn the side light within 270°. Adjust the tilt with the battery removed. Hang the light from the hook or stand it on its foot.
Maintenance: remove the battery before cleaning. Wipe the housing and switch with a dry cloth or blow them clean with compressed air (max. 0.3 MPa); clean the lens with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or sharp tools. After use, check the housing, lens and switch function. The unit must not be dismantled during the warranty period.
Warnings:
- Eye hazard: do not look into the light source or point the beam at eyes; strong light can cause temporary or permanent eye damage.
- Indoor use only: an IP20 light must not be washed with a water jet, immersed in liquid or used in rain.
- Explosion hazard: do not use in flammable or explosive atmospheres (drying paint, fuel or solvent vapours).
- Overheating: do not cover the light during use; the reflector housing gets hot.
- Protective lens: the lens is not replaceable: a damaged or cracked light must be taken out of use.
- Battery: Yato 18 V Li-Ion batteries only; remove the battery before adjusting and maintenance. Not a toy: keep out of the reach of children.

Which operating modes does the light have? Torch mode and three spotlight levels (bright, medium, dim). The mode is changed with the same power switch.
How far can the light head be turned? The arm folds 180°, and the spotlight aimed to the side also turns 270° sideways.
Can the light be used outdoors? The IP rating is IP20, so the light is intended for dry indoor spaces. Rain or splashing water can damage it.
How long does the light run on one charge? The operating time depends on the battery capacity and the selected power level; the dim level extends the operating time.
Recycling instructions:
Packaging: cardboard to paper collection, plastic bags and covers to plastic collection or energy waste.
Device: a discarded light is waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and must not be disposed of with mixed waste. Take it to a WEEE collection point or to the collection point of a shop selling electrical equipment. Take the removable Li-Ion battery separately to a battery collection point with the terminals taped; a damaged battery must not be transported without protection.
