5.2.6 Battery tool use and care
a)Ensure that the outer surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting the battery in the appro-
priate charger for charging.

6. Before use

1. It is essential that the safety precautions printed in
these operating instructions are read and observed.
2. It is essential that a new battery is charged correctly
when charged for the first time before initial use. Incor-
rect initial charging can lead to a permanent reduc-
tion of battery capacity.
– With the C 7/24 or TCU 7/36 charger: Charge for 24
hours in normal charging mode or for 12 hours in
conditioning mode.
– With the C 7/36-ACS charger: The charger detects
automatically whether initial charging or normal
charging is necessary.
-NOTE-
The tool may be used only with B24/2.0 NiCd, B24/2.4
●
NiCd or B24/3.0 NiMH batteries.
Battery performance drops at low temperatures.
●
Batteries should be stored at room temperature.
●
Never store batteries where they are exposed to the
●
heat of the sun, on a radiator, behind a motor vehicle
windscreen or at a window.
Never use the battery until the cells become fully dis-
●
charged. Change to the second battery as soon as a
drop in performance is noticed and recharge the bat-
tery immediately so that it is ready for re-use.

6.1 Fitting the side handle (option)
-NOTE-
An adjustable side handle (option) may be fitted in addi-
tion to the two integrated grips. The side handle permits
the tool to be held more securely and thus more com-
fortably, particularly in the event of inadvertently drilling
into a reinforcing bar.
1. Slacken the side handle clamping band by turning the
side handle in a counterclockwise direction.
2. Slide the side handle clamping band over the chuck
and onto the front section of the tool.
3. Bring the side handle into the desired position.
4. Secure the side handle by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
