Unpacking
Open the packaging and carefully remove the
device.
Remove all packaging material. Check
whether the package contents are complete.
Check the device and the accessories for
damage from transportation.
Charging the battery
The battery pack in the battery-operated tool is
not charged upon delivery. The battery must be
charged before first-time use. This takes approx.
5 hours.
1.
Insert the plug of the mains adapter into the
mains connection socket of the device.
2. Plug the mains adapter into an easily
accessible wall socket.
The red battery indicator light will illuminate.
As soon as the battery is fully charged, the
battery indicator light goes out.
3. Remove the mains adapter from the wall
socket.
The device is now ready for use.
It is necessary to charge the device again
as soon as you realise that performance has
diminished.
Monitoring the charge state of the battery
Press the battery capacity display switch.
The battery indicator lights light up –
according to the state of charge.
•
green–yellow–red
: battery fully charged
•
yellow–red
: battery has sufficient residual charge
•
red:
battery is empty and must be charged
The battery is protected against excessive
discharge. An integrated safety switch
automatically switches the device off if the
battery is discharged. In this case, the bit
holder stops rotating.
However, in the interest of a long service
life for the battery, you should ensure that
it is recharged in good time.
While charging, the handle on the device
may become warm. This is normal.
CAUTION
– material damage
• Do not cover the device and mains
adapter during the charging process.
Risk of overheating!
• The device must not be used while the
battery is charging.
WARNING
– risk of injury
• Only charge the battery pack with the
mains adapter provided.
• Do not activate the On/Off switch if the
integrated safety switch has switched
off the device. This can result in
damage to the battery.
• Please also observe the “Information
on safe battery usage”.

•
Do not use any rechargeable batteries that
have become distorted or deformed during
charging or display other unusual signs
(emitting gas, hissing, cracking etc.).
•
Do not discharge rechargeable batteries
completely (recommended depth of discharge
max. 80%). Complete discharge leads to pre-
mature ageing of the battery cells.
•
Do not leave the rechargeable batteries to
charge unattended!
Protection against environmental influences
•
Wear appropriate work clothes. Wear pro-
tective glasses.
•
Protect your battery-operated tool and the
battery charger from moisture and rain.
Moisture and rain can result in dangerous
damage to the cells.
•
Do not use the battery-operated tool and
charger in areas with fumes or combustible
liquids.
•
Only use the battery-operated tool and
charger in dry conditions and at an ambient
temperature of 10–40°C.
•
Do not store the rechargeable battery in a
place where the temperature could reach
above 40°C, particularly not in a vehicle
parked in the sun.
•
Protect rechargeable batteries from over-
heating!
Overloading, overcharging or direct sunlight
can cause overheating and cell damage.
Never charge or work with rechargeable
batteries that are overheated – replace them
immediately.
•
Storing the rechargeable batteries, charger
and battery-operated tool.
Store the charger
and your battery-operated tool in a dry room
with an ambient temperature of 5–30°C.
Protect from humidity and direct sunlight!
Only store batteries in a charged condition
(min. 40% charged).
•
Do not allow the lithium-ion battery to freeze.
Batteries that were stored for longer than
60 minutes below 0°C must be disposed of.
•
Take care when handling batteries in terms of
electrostatic charge: electrostatic discharge
causes damage to the protection circuit and
the battery cells!
Therefore, avoid electrostatic charging and
never touch the battery terminals!
For shipping or disposal of rechargeable
bat teries or the battery-operated tool, ensure
that the batteries are packaged separately in
a plastic bag to prevent short-circuiting and
fire!
