SETTING UP
Check whether the type of the plug of charger corresponds with the type of the wall socket.
The data on the charger nameplate must correspond with the actual power supply voltage.
The Lithium‐ion battery pack is supplied only partially charged. Charge the battery before first use. Li‐
Ion battery does not suffer from the memory effect and can be recharged at any time without risk of
shortening battery life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery. The battery is
equipped with a built‐in temperature sensor which allows charging only between 0‐45°C, thus
preventing battery damage.
Inserting and removing the battery pack
Battery pack (6) is located partially inside the handle and kept in place by a pair of release buttons (5).
• Insert the battery by guiding it into the handle. Correct orientation is decided by two guiding
grooves. Push the battery until the release buttons engage (5).
• To remove the battery, press and hold both release buttons (5) and pull battery out. Do not pull it
by force.
Recharging the battery (see Picture C)
• Connect the charger (10) to power, indicator LED (11) will shine red.
• Insert the battery pack (6) into the charging cradle (10), charging process will start automatically
and the indicator LED (11) will flash green during the charging.
• When the charging is finished, the LED will shine green. Complete charging of an empty battery can
take 60 min. If recharging only partially discharged battery, the charge time is shorter.
• When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charging station from the power
• Remove the charged battery after charging from the charging station to prevent it from losing its
capacity.

the power tool. Power indicator is activated every time the switch next to 4 LED is pressed, and goes
off after 5 seconds. Number of the green LEDs determines the actual remaining capacity:
