6 Commissioning and operation
Charging the battery (Fig. 2 and 3)
Caution!
Before starting up, read the warning instruc-
tions and the labels attached to the charger and
the battery!
Caution!
Please note that your Proxxon power tool may
only be operated with the appropriate Proxxon
battery and that the charger is to be used exclu-
sively for the charging of these batteries.
Furthermore, no other charger may be used
to charge the Proxxon battery: The respective
Proxxon components are optimally coordinated.
Please note: The device, battery and charge are
also separately available at retailers!
When delivered, the battery is partially char-
ged and must be charged completely before
commissioning the device. To do so, proceed
as follows:
Please note:
Only charge the battery at an ambient tempera-
ture of 10 to 40 °C!
1. Insert the plug of the charger.
2. Insert battery 1 in the charger 2 as shown
in Fig. 2
3. The yellow light-emitting diode 3 signals
the charging process. When completed, the
green light-emitting diode 4 lights up.
4. Remove the completely charged battery
from the charger.
5. Insert battery 1 as shown in Fig. 3 in the
housing opening of the device until it engages.
To protect the battery from harmful total di-
scharge while in operation, the charge status
is permanently monitored electronically and the
device will switch off before it reaches the critical
discharge condition. The battery will now need to
be recharged. Do not attempt to put the device
back into operation with a discharged battery!
6. To charge, press the release buttons 2, pull
out the battery to the rear and carry out
steps 1-5.
The charging process can be interrupted at any
time and continued without damage to the battery.
Caution!
Drastically reduced operating times after the
charging process indicates that the battery
needs to be replaced!
If after inserting the battery into its designated
opening the light-emitting diode fl ashes instead
of glowing yellow continuously, the cause may
be a too high temperature, a defect, or the total
discharge of the battery.
• If the battery is too hot, the charging process
will start automatically after it cools down.
• If, on the other hand, the battery has a nor-
mal temperature but is totally discharged, the
charger will check if it still draws power or it
if is already defective.
• If the battery can be recovered, the yellow
light-emitting diode will glow continuously
after some time, signalling the successful
charging process.
• If the yellow light-emitting diode fl ashes, the
battery is defective and needs to be disposed
of; see also "Note on disposal within the EU"
later on in these instructions.
The foam backing pad with hook and loop
quick fastener (Fig. 4)
Polishing tools 1, e.g. the polishing sponge or
felt disc, are fi xed to the Foam backing pad 3
with the hook and look quick fastener 2, as
shown in Figure 2.
To change the polishing tools, simply pull off the
used polishing tool and press on the desired one.
This makes it easy to change polishing tools
quickly and safely in order to adapt to different
materials or machining stages.
