Mounting the Battery Belt Lead 20
By using the battery belt lead, the weight of the rotary
hammer can be reduced by the weight of the battery,
as the battery can be hung from the belt using the
strap 15.
– Remove the battery from the machine.
– Push the connection piece onto the battery until it
notches.
In so doing be sure to observe the coloured mark-
ing. The label 16 and the black side of the battery
plug 17 must match. Do not exert any force!
– Connect to the rotary hammer using the plug.
Be sure to observe the colour marking here, too.
On the underside of the rotary hammer there is also
a label for marking the black side of the plug.

Charging the batteries

The rated voltage of the battery must agree with the
value on the machine.
– The batteries are not charged. They therefore have
to be charged before use.
– A new battery develops full power only after it has
been subjected to approx. 5 charging and dis-
charging cycles.
– The maximum service life of the batteries is
attained if you charge these at an ambient temper-
ature of between +5 °C and max. +45 °C.
– If the battery is not within the permitted loading
temperature range (approx. +5 °C and +45 °C)
charging time is extended by the cooling or warm-
up time.
– Important! Batteries will discharge even if the tool is
not used. They should therefore be re-charged reg-
ularly.
Or better still – connect the battery to the mains
charger which will automatically switch to mainte-
nance charging after the battery has been fully
charged. This is particularly useful for maintenance
and for the optimal operational readiness of the
batteries.
– Do not leave the battery in the charger if the latter
is not in operating condition.
To ensure long service life, the batteries should
always be charged in good time. This is particularly
important if you notice a reduction in power ouput.
1. Remove battery 9 from the handle by simultane-
ously pressing the locking device 8.
2. Make sure that the mains voltage complies with
the voltage on the name-plate on the charger.
Connect charger plug to mains.
3. Push battery into battery until it snaps into place.
Battery charging unit type: CSS 20/45
Use as Intended
The device is only designed for charging Kress batter-
ies with a voltage of 24 V.
Both NiCd batteries and NiMH batteries can be
charged.
Charging Procedure
The quick, computerised battery charger has an
extensive function for monitoring the battery and
charging parameters and charges the battery with
the optimum quick-charging current in each case,
depending upon the temperature. This enables the
shortest charging times and a long battery service life.
Fully insert the battery into the charging slot until it is
heard and/or felt to notch. For removing the battery,
press both lock-release buttons until the battery can
be taken out of the battery charger without any resist-
ance. Do not exert any force!
After completion of the quick charging process, the
charging unit switches automatically to trickle charg-
ing. This compensates for the natural self-discharging
of the battery.
Display and Key
Constant yellow light: The charging unit is correctly
connected to the power mains and is ready for opera-
tion. No battery is inserted in the charging cavity or it
is not making contact.
Blinking green indicator light: The battery is making
contact and quick charging is in progress.
Constant green indicator light: The quick charging
process has ended and the charging unit has
switched to trickle charging. The battery is completely
charged and can be removed.
Constant red light: The battery temperature is out-
side the allowable range. The charging process
begins as soon as the battery temperature is again
within the prescribed temperature range.
Blinking red light: The battery is defective or there is
a short between the charging contacts.
– Remove the battery from the battery charger.
– Pull out the mains plug!
– Check the charging slot for foreign bodies.
