Assembly
Battery Charging
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
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). A protective circuit
switches the cordless dust extractor off when the battery is
drained.
Do not continue to press the on/off switch after the
u
tool has been automatically switched off. This can
damage the battery.
The battery must be removed from the vacuum cleaner to
charge it.
The battery features NTC temperature monitoring, which
only permits charging in a temperature range between 0 °C
and 45 °C. This achieves a long battery life.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Battery charge indicator
The three green LEDs of the battery charge indicator (3) in-
dicate the state of charge of the battery (4). The battery
charge indicator only illuminates for three seconds after
start-up.
