Assembly
Battery Charging
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 lithium ion battery is protected against
deep discharging by the "Electronic Cell Protec-
tion (ECP)". When the battery is empty, the ma-
chine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the
WARNING
On/Off switch after the ma-
chine has been automatically switched off.
The battery can be damaged.
Removing the Battery
The battery 16 is equipped with two locking
levels that should prevent the battery from fall-
ing out when pushing the battery unlocking but-
ton 11 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position
by means of a spring.
To remove the battery 16:
– Push the battery against the base of the
power tool (1.) and at the same time press
the battery unlocking button 11 (2.).
– Pull the battery out of the power tool until a
red stripe becomes visible (3.).
– Press the battery unlocking button 11 again
and pull out the battery completely.

Battery Charge-control Indication
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-con-
trol indicator 14 indicate the charge condition of
the battery 16. 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 15 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.
LED
Continuous lighting 3x green
Continuous lighting 2x green
Continuous lighting 1x green
Flashing light 1x green
When no LED lights up after pushing button 15,
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 an NTC tempera-
ture control which allows charging only within a
temperature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C.
A long battery service life is achieved in this
manner.
