Battery Charging

Use only the battery chargers listed on the
accessories page. Only these battery charg-
ers are matched to the lithium ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full capacity of the battery, complete-
ly charge the battery in the battery charger be-
fore using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any
time without reducing its service life. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
The lithium ion battery is protected against
deep discharging by the "Electronic Cell Protec-
tion (ECP)". When the battery is empty, the ma-
chine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the
WARNING
On/Off switch after the ma-
chine has been automatically switched off. The
battery can be damaged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A
long battery service life is achieved in this man-
ner.
Observe the notes for disposal.
