One advantage of using Lithium-Ion batteries is
that, until the battery is almost empty, hardly any
power fading is noticeable. The machine can be
used until you start noticing that the power of the
drill is elapsed. The battery is discharged now
and needs to be charged.
• Remove the battery from the tool.
• Put the adapter plug of the net adapter in the
connector on top of the battery.
• Put the net adapter in the socket.The red
charging LED on the net adapter will illuminate
indicating the battery is being charged.
• When the battery is charged the red LED will
change into green.
• The charging process of a fully discharged
battery will take approximately 5 hours the first
time and afterwards approximately 3-5 hours.

In comparison to NiCd and NiMH cells,
Lithium-Ion cells have no memory effect due
to intermedial charging. While NiCd and NiMH
batteries need to be discharged before charging,
a Lithium-Ion block does not need to completely
discharged. This battery block can be charged at
any time despite its current power level without
losing much of its original power and endurance.
The charger is equiped with a special plug. This
Lithium-Ion battery pack is only to be charged
with this dedicated charger. The integrated
electronics in this dedicated charger is custom
made for this Lithium-Ion battery pack. Using
other chargers/adapters will cause irreversible
damage to the battery.

water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol,
ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage
the plastic parts.
