Note! A new battery pack, or one that has not
been in use for an extended period, must be charged
up before the first / renewed usage.
The battery pack attains its full capacity after ca.
3–5 charging cycles.
CAUTION! Always ensure the plug is removed
from the mains socket before inserting a battery pack
into, or removing one from, the charging station.
Never charge the battery pack if the ambient
temperature is less than 10 °C or greater than
40 °C.
1. Insert the battery pack
6
into the quick-
charger
15
(see Fig. C).
2. Insert the mains plug into the mains socket. The
flashing green charge indicator LED
17
shows
that charging is in progress.
3. The charging process is completed when the
green charge indicator LED
17
light up and the
accumulator pack
6
is ready for operation.
4. If the red charge indicator LED
16
lights up, the
quick battery charger
15
is in standby mode;
the accumulator pack
6
is not connected.
5. If the red charge indicator LED
16
starts flas-
hing, this means that the accumulator pack
6
has become too hot; no charging process.
Never charge the battery pack for a second time
immediately after a fast charging process has
been completed. This can give rise to the battery
pack becoming overcharged and to a reduced
service life of the battery and charging station.
Switch the charger off for at least 15 minutes
between two successive charging procedures.
Remove the power plug from the wall socket.
Q
Insertion / removal of a battery
pack into the appliance
Ensure that the appliance is switched off before in-
serting the battery. The insertion of a battery into an
electrical appliance that is switched on can lead to
accidents.
Inserting the rechargeable battery pack:
Move the rotation switch
2
into the middle
position (lock) and push the rechargeable bat-
tery pack
6
into the handle until it engages.
Removing the rechargeable battery pack:
Press the release button
7
and remove the
rechargeable battery pack
Q
Checking battery status
To check the battery status, press the battery
LED button
11
(refer to main diagram). The
status or residual capacity will be indicated in
the battery LED
10
as follows:
GREEN / RED / ORANGE = maximum charge /
capacity
RED / ORANGE = medium charge / capacity
RED = weak charge – recharge battery
Q
Changing tools
Your cordless electric drill / screwdriver has a fully
automatic spindle lock
and is fitted with an
enclosed keyless chuck incorporating the latest
technology from
”Made in Germany”.
Once the motor has come to a halt, the drive shaft
is automatically locked, so that the chuck
13
can
be opened simply by turning it
.
After you have inserted the required bit and fixed it
in place by turning the chuck
, you can immedi-
ately continue working. The spindle lock releases
itself automatically when the motor is started (by
operation of the ON / OFF switch
3
).
Q
Torque pre-selection
You can adjust the torque by using
14
torque pre-
selection. The torque levels regulate a range of up
to ca. 35 Nm.
Select a low setting for small screws, soft work
material.
