Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.

Charging the battery

The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were
easily done before. When charging the battery for the first
time, or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80%
charge. After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery
will attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
The tool can be left connected to the charger indefinitely.
To maximise the lifetime of the battery, it is recommended to
keep the battery connected to the charger whenever the tool
is not in use. When the battery is full, the power consumption
of the charger is negligible.
Charging with the wall mount (fig. F)
Place the tool on the wall mount (11).
Plug in the charger.
Charging with the charger plug (fig. G)
The charger plug is designed with lock outs to prevent the use
of an incorrect charger.
Insert the charger plug (12) into the charger connector at
the rear of the tool.
Plug in the charger.
