power tool and accessories, keeping their hands warm, and
organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Charging the Battery
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger
before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The accessory no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
u
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Removing the Battery
The battery (6) is equipped with two locking levels to pre-
vent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery re-
lease button (7) 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 (6), press the release button (7) and
pull the battery out of the power tool. Do not use force to
do this.
Changing the tool (see figure A)
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
The drill spindle is locked when the on/off switch (10) is not
pressed. This makes it possible to change the application
tool in the drill chuck quickly, conveniently and easily.
Open the keyless chuck (2) by turning it in the direction of
rotation ➊ until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.
Firmly tighten the keyless chuck (2) by turning it by hand in
the direction of rotation ➋. This will automatically lock the
drill chuck.

Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma-
terials to be worked.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
