- that there is a large working area free from obstacles.
- that children and unauthorised personnel are kept at a distance.
- that there is good lighting.
- that it is used close to the main switch with residual current
device.
- that the power supply system is earthed and conforms to
the standards (only if the electrical device is class I, i.e. it is
equipped with a plug with earth cable).
- that the room temperature is between 10° and 35°C.
- that the environment is not in a flammable/explosive atmo-
sphere.
After charging, unplug the battery charger and take out the

BATTERY CHARGING (Fig.E)
!
WARNING! Before using the tool it is necessary to fully
charge the battery.

WARNING! Only charge compatible batteries, recommen-
ded by the manufacturer.
1) Take the battery out of the housing in the tool by operating the
locking devices (pos.6) and push it fully into the compartment
with the contacts in the battery charger (pos.3).
2) Insert the plug of the battery charger into a socket.
3) The green charging light (pos.4) comes on when the battery
begins charging. The charging time for a completely flat
battery depends on the battery’s capacity (mA/h).(approx.
30 min. for every 1000 mA/h of battery capacity)
4) Once charging is complete, the red warning light (pos.4)
switches off and the green warning light (pos.5) comes on
indicating full charge.
5) After charging, unplug the battery charger and take out the
battery.
When the battery charger is connected to the mains but the
battery is not inserted, the green light (pos.5) comes on indi-
cating that power is on.
