Assembly
Battery Charging
 Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories
page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith-
ium ion battery pack used in your vacuum cleaner.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithiucm-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The llithiucm-ion battery is protected against deep discharg-
ing by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the bat-
tery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a pro-
tective circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
 After the automatic shut-off of the vacuum cleaner, do
not continue to press the On/Off button. The battery
pack could become damaged.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Removing the battery (see figures A1 – A2)
The battery 3 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 11 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
– To remove the battery pack 3, press the battery unlocking
button 11 and pull the battery pack toward the rear out of
the vacuum cleaner. Do not exert any force when doing
this.
Mounting VAC Accessories (see figure B)
 Remove the battery before cleaning or performing
maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making tool ad-
justments, changing accessories or storing the vacuum
cleaner. This safety measure prevents the vacuum cleaner
from being started accidentally.

uum cleaner increases the risk of an electric shock.

etc.). Replace a damaged filter immediately.

ing it.

2 backwards (direction OFF).
