ends automatically. The 3 green LEDs on battery
(14) go out.
• Charging takes approx. 3-5 hours. The battery heats
up during the charging process. This is normal and
does not signal a fault. Remove the rechargeable bat-
tery after no more than 5 hours.
Note: Occasionally, the permissible temperature range
may be exceeded during the charging cycle. In this case,
the electronic charging control interrupts the charging
cycle to avoid any damage to the battery. The read
control light will then glow continuously. If you should
witness this, pull the battery from the charging station
and let it cool down for about 30 minutes. Then, restart
the charging cycle by sliding the battery back onto the
charging station.
• It is not required to monitor the charging time.
• Pull the plug of the charging unit if it is not in use.
• If the battery is not lit up, check if there is electric cur-
rent in the socket. If the charging of the batteries is not
possible, give the battery charger and the batteries to
a service shop.
Push the button X to check the charging level (fig. 2).
The following indications may occur:
• All 3 control lights are glowing: the battery is fully
charged.
• 2 control lights are glowing: the charging level is still
acceptable.
• 1 control light is glowing: the battery is discharged.
Recharge the battery immediately!
Note! The battery (14) will not reach its full capacity
when charged for the first time. The red light illuminates
until the charging device (16) is disconnected from the
mains. Multiple charging cycles may be required in order
to reach the maximum charge.
Note: The battery is equipped with a deep-discharge
protection feature: the tool is automatically switched off
if the battery is discharged. Recharge the battery imme-
diately if this should be the case.
Thermal and voltage protection
If the tool is subject to excessively high loads for an ex-
tended period, the rechargeable battery may switch off.
If this occurs leave the battery to cool down for approx.
30 minutes.
