Battery Charging
f Use only the battery chargers listed on the
accessories page. Only these battery charg-
ers are matched to the lithium ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full capacity of the battery, complete-
ly charge the battery in the battery charger be-
fore using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any
time without reducing its service life. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep dis-
charging by the “Electronic Cell Protection
(ECP)”. When the battery is empty, the machine
is switched off by means of a protective circuit:
The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the
On/Off switch after the ma-
chine has been automatically switched off. The
battery can be damaged.
Removing the Battery
The battery 10 is equipped with two locking lev-
els that should prevent the battery from falling
out when pushing the battery unlocking button
9 unintentionally. As long as the battery is in-
serted in the power tool, it is held in position by
means of a spring.
To remove the battery 10:
– Push the battery against the base of the pow-
er tool (1.) and at the same time press the
battery unlocking button 9 (2.).
– Pull the battery out of the power tool until a
red stripe becomes visible (3.).
– Press the battery unlocking button 9 again
and pull out the battery completely.
Battery Charge-control Indication
(see figure A)
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-con-
trol indicator 12 indicate the charge condition of
the battery 10. For safety reasons, it is only pos-
sible to check the status of the charge condition
when the machine is at a standstill.
Push button 13 to indicate the charge condition
(also possible when the battery is removed).
The battery charge-control indicator automati-
cally goes out after approx. 5 seconds.
When no LED lights up after pushing button 13,
then the battery is defective and must be re-
placed.
During the charging procedure, the three green
LEDs light up one after the other and briefly go
out. The battery is fully charged when the three
green LEDs light up continuously. The three
LEDs go out again approx. 5 minutes after the
battery has been fully charged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long
battery service life is achieved in this manner.
