• Take breaks if necessary when working with
the device!
Use and handling of battery-powered tool
a) Batteries should only be charged with
the chargers recommended by the ma-
nufacturer. A charger suitable for a certain
type of battery poses a fi re hazard if used
with other batteries.
b) Use only the designated batteries in the
power tools. The use of other batteries can
cause injuries and pose a fi re hazard.
c) Keep unused batteries away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other
small metal objects which could bridge
the contacts. A short-circuit between the
battery contacts can cause burns or fi re.
d) If used incorrectly, the battery can leak
fluids. Avoid contact. In the event of inci-
dental contact, rinse with water. If the fl uid
gets into your eyes, seek medical assis-
tance. Leaking battery fl uids can cause skin
irritations or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified bat-
tery. Damaged or modifi ed batteries can
behave unpredictably and cause fi res, ex-
plosions or injuries.
f) Never expose a battery to fire or exces-
sive temperatures. Fire or temperatures
above 130°C can cause an explosion.
g) Observe all charging instructions and
never charge the battery or battery-pow-
ered tool outside the temperature range
specified by the operating instructions.
Incorrect charging or charging outside the
approved temperature range can destroy
the battery and increase the risk of fi re.
Service
a) Never service damaged batteries. All
maintenance work on batteries should only
be carried out by the manufacturer or au-
thorised customer service centres.
5 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!
Only charge the battery at an ambient tempera-
ture of 10 to 40°C!
When delivered, the battery is partially char-
ged and must be charged completely before
commissioning the device. To do so, proceed
as follows:
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 2 As shown in Fig. 3 in the
housing opening of the device until it en-
gages.
6. To charge, press the release buttons 2, pull
out the battery to the rear and carry out
steps 1-5.
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!
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!
