Charging the Battery
- Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The accessory no longer rotates.
- Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the power tool has automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.
Removing the battery
To remove the battery , press the battery release button and pull the battery to the rear and out of the power tool. Do not use force to do this.
Battery charge indicator
When the on/off switch (11) is pressed in halfway or completely, the battery charge-control indicator (9) indicates the charge condition of the battery for several seconds. The indicator consists of three green LEDs.
LED | Capacity |
|---|---|
Continuous lighting 3 x green | 75–100 % |
Continuous lighting 2 x green | 40–75 % |
Continuous lighting 1 x green | 15–40 % |
Slowly flashing light 1 x green | 0–15 % |
The three LEDs in the battery charge indicator flash quickly when the temperature of the battery is outside the operating temperature range of –30 to +65 °C and/or the overload protection has been triggered.
