machine through the air vent slits (danger
of short circuit).
– Do not charge battery packs from external
manufacturers. The charger is designed for
charging original battery packs only. Never
charge the battery packs in chargers from
external manufacturers. Otherwise there is
a danger of fire and explosion.
– Protect the battery pack from exces-
sive heat or constant heat sources
such as sunlight or naked flames.
There is a risk of explosion.
– Never use water to extinguish burning
LiIon battery packs, always use sand or
a fire blanket.

The emission values specified (vibration,
noise) were measured in accordance with the
test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and
are intended for machine comparisons. They
are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
The emission values specified refer to the
main applications for which the power tool is
used. If the electric power tool is used for
other applications, with other tools or is not
maintained sufficiently prior to operation,
however, the vibration and noise load may be

significantly reduce the load during the ma-

Operation

6.1 Changing the battery pack
L All battery packs in the BPS and BPC se-
ries can be used with the Festool cordless
drills T12+3, T15+3, T18+3. Li-ion Bat-
tery packs can also be used with a lower
voltage than that of the cordless drill.
L When using NiMH or NiCd battery packs,
the vacant opening can be closed with the
blanking plug [2-1].
The capacity display
charge status of the battery pack. If the ca-
pacity display is flashing the battery pack is
empty. The capacity indicator does not work
with NiCd and NiMH battery packs.
6.2 Charging the battery pack
L The battery pack is immediately ready for
operation upon delivery and can be
charged at any time independently of its
charge state without shortening the ser-
vice life.
The charger TRC 3 can be used to charge all
Festool battery packs of the BPS and BPC se-
ries. The charger automatically detects the
type of the inserted battery (NiCd, NiMH or
LiIon). A microprocessor controls the charg-
ing process in line with the charging state,
temperature and voltage of the battery pack.
If a warm NiMH battery pack (> 37 °C) is in-
serted, the pack is charged with a reduced
charging current and will take longer to
charge.
The LED [3-1] on the charger indicates the
respective operating status of the charger.
LED yellow - lit continuously
Charger is ready to use.
LED green - flashing quickly
Battery pack is charged to maximum capac-
ity.
LED green - flashing slowly
Battery pack is charged with reduced cur-
rent, LiIon is charged to 80 %.
