 Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control
which allows charging only within a temperature range of be-
tween 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved
in this manner.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Removing the battery (see figures A1 – A2)
The battery 3 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 7 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 3, press the unlocking buttons 7 and
pull the battery out of the machine to the rear. Do not ex-
ert any force.
Mounting the Blower Accessories
(see figures B1 – B3)
 Remove the battery before cleaning or performing main-
tenance on the blower, making tool adjustments, chang-
ing accessories or storing the blower. This safety measure
prevents the blower from being started accidentally.
See the illustration for the ways of combining the different
blower accessories.
– Insert the bayonet lock 12 of the accessory firmly into the
notches 8 of the motor housing or into the notches 8 of the
extension tube 9.
– Turn the bayonet lock a quarter turn clockwise.
Mounting the Dust Collection Tube
When blowing out bore holes, the drilling debris is blown in
the direction of the operator. For this reason, it is recom-
mended that you mount the dust collection tube 11 over the
bore hole nozzle 10.
– Place the notches 13 of the dust collection tube 11 over
the outer bayonet lock 12 of the bore hole nozzle 10.
– Turn the dust collection tube 11 a quarter turn clockwise.
Operation
 Remove the battery before cleaning or performing
maintenance on the blower, making tool adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the blower. This safety
measure prevents the blower from being started acciden-
tally.

position I or II.

During "blowing" operation, take care that no debris/impuri-
ties can be drawn into the air intake 4.
