Note: The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full capacity of the battery, completely
charge the battery in the battery 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. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep dis-
charging by the "Electronic Cell Protection
(ECP)". When the battery is empty, the machine
is switched off by means of a protective circuit:
The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the

On/Off switch after the ma-
chine has been automatically switched off. The
battery can be damaged.
To remove the battery 6, press the battery un-
locking button 11 and pull the battery out of the
power tool toward the rear. Do not exert any
force.
For charging, the battery 6 can also remain in the
power tool. During the charging procedure, the
power tool cannot be switched on. Press the
On/Off switch 10 to check the charge condition
of the battery, see Section "Battery Charge-con-
trol Indication".
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long
battery service life is achieved in this manner.
Observe the notes for disposal.
