6 Before use

6.1 Battery use and care
NOTE
Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Use a battery
only when it has been fully charged. This ensures that maximum
battery capacity is available. Change to the second battery as
soon as a drop in performance is noticed. Recharge the battery
immediately so that it is ready for reuse.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Never store the battery
where it is exposed to direct sunlight or sources of heat, e.g. on
heaters / radiators or behind a motor vehicle windscreen. Batteries
that have reached the end of their life must be disposed of safely
and correctly to avoid environmental pollution.
6.2 Charging the battery
DANGER
Use only the Hilti batteries and Hilti chargers listed under
"Accessories".
6.2.1 Charging a new battery for the first time
Charge the battery fully before using it for the first time.
6.2.2 Charging a previously used battery
Ensure that the outer surfaces of the battery are clean and dry
before inserting it in the corresponding charger.
Read the operating instructions for the charger for further inform-
ation about the charging procedure.
Li-ion batteries are ready for use at any time, even when only partly
charged. Charging progress is indicated by the LED display (see
charger operating instructions).
6.3 Fitting the battery
CAUTION
Before fitting the battery, check that the power tool is switched
off and that the safety lock is engaged (forward/reverse switch
in the middle position). Use only the Hilti batteries approved
for use with this power tool.
CAUTION
Check that the terminals on the battery and in the power tool
are free from foreign objects before inserting the battery in
the power tool.
1. Push the battery into the power tool from the rear as far as it
will go and until it is heard to engage with a double click.
2. CAUTION A falling battery may present a risk of injury to
yourself or others.
Check that the battery is seated securely in the power tool.
