Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
u
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Removing the battery
To remove the battery (9), press the release buttons (7) and
pull the battery back and out of the power tool. Do not use
force to do this.
Battery Charge Indicator
When the on/off switch (5) is pressed in halfway or com-
pletely, the battery charge-control indicator (8) indicates
the charge condition of the battery for several seconds. The
indicator consists of three green LEDs.
LED
Continuous light 3 x green
Continuous light 2 x green
Continuous light 1 x green
Slowly flashing light 1 x green
The three LEDs in the battery charge indicator flash
quickly when the temperature of the battery is outside
the operating temperature range of –30 to +65 °C and/or
the overload protection has been triggered.
Changing the tool (see figure A)
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
The drill spindle is locked when the on/off switch (5) is not
pressed. This makes it possible to change the application
tool in the drill chuck quickly, conveniently and easily.
Open the keyless chuck (1) by turning it in the direction of
rotation ➊ until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.
Firmly tighten the sleeve of the keyless chuck (1) by turning
it by hand in the rotational direction ➋ until it stops clicking.
This will automatically lock the drill chuck.
The lock will disengage again if you turn the sleeve in the op-
posite direction to remove the tool.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic

reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma-
terials to be worked.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
