supply must correspond with the data given on the
F 016 L81 577 | (28.9.17)
nameplate of the battery charger. Battery chargers
marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that
allows charging only in the temperature range between 0 °C
and 45 °C. In this manner, a high battery service life is
achieved.
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
