Use
Charging the battery (fig. C)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. A new battery or a battery that has not been
used for a long period of time achieves full performance only
after approximately 5 charging and discharging cycles.
After normal use, a charging time of 12 hours will enable the
tool to operate at an effective power level for most tasks.
However, further charging for up to 24 hours could significantly
increase the run time, depending on the battery and charging
conditions. The battery may become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning!
Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4
°
C or above 40
°
C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24
