Proxxon BS/A Manuel page 11

The battery can explode.
• Never subject the battery to liquids!
Caution:
Please note that your Proxxon power tool may
only be operated with the appropriate Proxxon
battery and that the charger is to be used exclu-
sively for the charging of these batteries.
Furthermore, no other charger may be used
to charge the Proxxon battery: The respective
Proxxon components are optimally coordinated.
Please note: The device, battery and charge
are also separately available at retailers!
When delivered, the battery is partially char-
ged and must be charged completely before
commissioning the device. To do so, proceed
as follows:
1. Insert the plug of the charger.
2. Insert battery 1 in the charger 2 as shown
in Fig. 2.
3. The yellow light-emitting diode 3 signals the
charging process. When completed, the
green light-emitting diode 4 lights up.
4. Remove the completely charged battery
from the charger.
5. Insert battery 1 as shown in Fig. 3 in the
housing opening of the device until it engages.
To protect the battery from harmful total dischar-
ge while in operation, the charge status is per-
manently monitored electronically and the de-
vice will switch off before it reaches the critical
discharge condition. The battery will now need
to be recharged. Do not attempt to put the device
back into operation with a discharged battery!
6. To charge, press the release buttons 2, pull
out the battery to the rear and carry out
steps 1-5.
The charging process can be interrupted at
any time and continued without damage to
the battery.
Caution:
Drastically reduced operating times after the
charging process indicates that the battery
needs to be replaced!
If after inserting the battery into its designa-
ted opening the light-emitting diode fl ashes
instead of glowing yellow continuously, the
cause may be a too high temperature, a de-
fect, or the total discharge of the battery.
• If the battery is too hot, the charging process
will start automatically after it cools down.
• If, on the other hand, the battery has a nor
mal temperature but is totally discharged,
the charger will check if it still draws power
or it if is already defective.
• If the battery can be recovered, the yellow
light-emitting diode will glow continuously
after some time, signalling the successful
charging process.
• If the yellow light-emitting diode fl ashes, the
battery is defective and needs to be disposed
of; see also "Note on disposal within the EU"
later on in these instructions.
General handling of the device:
Caution!
Ensure the work piece is fi xed securely! Loose
work pieces should be clamped in a suitable
fi xture. This prevents the work pieces from
fl ying about
Danger!
Please wear a dust mask as necessary!
Some types of wood or even varnish residues
(or similar) can generate harmful dusts while
working. If you are unsure of the harmless-
ness of your material to be ground, please
wear a dust protection mask! Ensure the work
place is well ventilated in any case and work
with a vacuum cleaner for dust extraction as
necessary!
Caution:
The battery must be removed from the device be-
fore assembly, adjustment (except the belt running
adjustment), maintenance measures or repair!
