Charging the battery (fig. A & F)
The battery needs to be charged before first
use and whenever it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. When charging the battery for
the first time, or after prolonged storage, it
will only accept an 80% charge. After several
charge and discharge cycles, the battery will
attain full capacity. The battery may become
warm while charging; this is normal and does
not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at
ambient temperatures below 10 °C or above
40 °C. Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 24 °C.
Using the charger
• To charge the battery (7), remove it from
the tool and slide the charger receptacle
(10) onto the battery.
• Plug in the charger (9).
The battery will become warm while
charging. After approx. 3 hours of charging,
the battery will be sufficiently charged for
use in regular applications. After approx.
8-10 hours of charging, the battery will be
fully charged.
• Remove the charger receptacle from the
battery.
Charger with charging plug
• To charge the battery, make sure that it is
fitted on the drill.
• Insert the charger plug (8) into the
connector.
• Plug in the charger.
• Switch on at the mains.
After normal use, a charging time of 3 hours
will provide sufficient power for most
applications. However, further charging for
up to 6 hours could significantly increase the
use time, depending on the battery and
charging conditions.
• Disconnect the tool from the charger.
Warning! Do not use the tool while it is
connected to the charger.
