Automatic refresh
The automatic refresh mode will
equalize or balance the individual
cells in the battery pack at its peak
capacity. Battery packs should be
refreshed overnight after every 10th
charge/discharge cycle or whenever
the pack no longer delivers the same
amount of work.
• To refresh your battery pack, place the battery in
the charger as usual. The red light will blink
continuously indicating that the charge cycle has
started.
• When the 1-hour charge cycle has completed,
the light will stay on continuously and will no
longer blink. The pack is fully charged and can
be used at this time.
• If the pack is left in the charger after the initial
1-hour charge, the charger will automatically
initiate the refresh mode. This mode will continue
up to 8 hours, but the battery pack can be
removed at any time during the refresh mode.
Inserting and removing the battery pack
• Insert the battery pack into the corresponding
slot in the tool until it clicks in place.
• To remove the battery pack, press the release
button (8).
We recommend to insert the battery pack into the
charger directly after removing it from the tool.
Battery cap (fig. B)
A protective cap is supplied to cover the contacts of
a detached battery pack. Without the protective cap
in place, loose metal objects could short circuit the
contacts, causing a fire hazard and damaging the
battery pack.
• Take off the protective cap (12) before placing
the battery pack (9) in the charger or tool.
• Place the protective cap over the contacts
immediately after removing the battery pack from
the charger or tool.
Make sure the protective cap is in place
before storing or carrying a detached
battery pack.

AIR COOLED
The charger is equipped with an internal fan for rapid
cooling of battery packs. The fan will be automatically
switched on when required. The fan will also be
switched on periodically when there is no battery in
the charger in order to blow dust from the fan vents.
Always wear safety glasses when
plugging in the charger.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or
too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has reached
an appropriate temperature. The charger then
automatically switches to the pack charging mode.
This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red
indicator blinks long, then short while in the Hot/
Cold Pack Delay mode.
Inserting and removing bits (fig. A & C)
• Open the chuck by turning the sleeve (6)
counterclockwise and insert the bit shank.
• Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go and
lift slightly before tightening.
• Press the spindle lock (13) and tighten firmly by
turning the sleeve clockwise.
• To remove the bit, proceed in reverse order.
Selecting the operating mode (fig. D)
The tool can be used in two operating modes:
Rotary drilling:
for steel, wood and plastics
Percussion drilling:
simultaneous rotating and impacting for
concrete and masonry drilling operations.
• Select the required operating mode by rotating
the mode selector (4) towards the appropriate
symbol.
Forward/reverse slider (fig. A)
• To select forward or reverse rotation, use the
forward/reverse slider (2) (see arrows on tool).
