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, completely
charge the battery in the battery 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. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
The lithium ion battery is protected against deep
discharging 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
WARNING
On/Off switch after the ma-
chine has been automatically switched off. The
battery can be damaged.
Removing the Battery
The battery 8 is equipped with two locking levels
that should prevent the battery from falling out
when pushing the battery unlocking button 13
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 8:
– Push the battery against the base of the pow-
er tool (1.) and at the same time press the
battery unlocking button 13 (2.).
– Pull the battery out of the power tool until a
red stripe becomes visible (3.).
– Press the battery unlocking button 13 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 11 indicate the charge condition of
the battery 8. For safety reasons, it is only possi-
ble to check the status of the charge condition
when the machine is at a standstill.
Push button 12 to indicate the charge condition
(also possible when the battery is removed). The
battery charge-control indicator automatically
goes out after approx. 5 seconds.
LED
Continuous lighting 3x green ≥2/3
Continuous lighting 2x green ≥1/3
Continuous lighting 1x green <1/3
Flashing light 1x green
When no LED lights up after pushing button 12,
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 man-
ner.
Auxiliary Handle (see figure B)
Before any work on the power tool (e. g.,
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, set the rota-
tional direction switch to the center posi-
tion. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off
switch can lead to injuries.
Operate your power tool only with the auxil-
iary handle 7.
The auxiliary handle 7 can be set to any position
for a secure and low-fatigue working positure.
