GSR 18 VE-2/GSR 24 VE-2:
Always use the auxiliary handle supplied
with the machine. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
When working with the machine, always
hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.
Before Putting into Operation
Battery Charging
A battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging /discharging
cycles.
To remove the battery 6, press the unlocking but-
tons 8 and pull out the battery downwards. Do not
exert any force.
The battery is equipped with an NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C.
A long battery service life is achieved in this man-
ner.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the batteries are used and
must be replaced.
Observe the notes on environmental protec-
tion.
Auxiliary Handle (see figure
(GSB 12 – 24 VE-2/
GSR 18 – 24 VE-2)
Loosen the handle by turning to the left. Rotate
the auxiliary handle 9 and adapt to the working
position. Make sure that the clamping band 11 of
the auxiliary handle remains in the groove.
Afterwards tighten the handle again by turn-
ing in clockwise direction.
