Operation
Charging the Battery
Charge the battery before first use.
In contrast to Ni-Ca or MH batteries lithium-ion batteries do not
have a memory effect. The capacity of other batteries decreases
steadily but the capacity of lithium-ion batteries does not
decrease. The capacity remains constant until the electronics
interrupts discharging. The mini grinder will stop abruptly, if the
charging level of the battery falls below a certain value.
Regardless of the charging condition, the battery can be charged
at any time without damaging the cells.
1. Connect the power cord of the charger with a
wall socket. The charging control lamp (5)
lights up.
2. Insert the unit into the charger only as
shown in the figure. If you insert the mini
grinder in a wrong way, you might damage
the unit.
The charger will automatically switch off after approx. 2 – 3
hours to show that the charging process is finished. The
charging control lamp will light up green if the battery is fully
charged.
Turning ON and OFF
To switch the unit on, turn the ON/OFF rotary switch (2) in
direction to the number 5 and to switch off, turn in direction to 1.
According to your work you can adjust the speed.
The more you turn the rotary switch in direction to 5 the higher is
the speed. The speed can be adjusted from 2.000 to 18.000
r/min.
