ASX 132/1
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 6 from the handle by simultane-
ously pressing the locking device 5 .
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: MSL 60
Use as Intended
The device is only designed for charging Kress NiCd
batteries with voltages between 12 V and 13.2 V.
Charging Procedure
The charging process begins as soon as the mains
plug is inserted into the power supply socket and the
battery is placed into battery charger slot.
The "intelligent" battery charger recognises the
charged condition of the battery and switches a fully
charged battery immediately to trickle charging. By
means of this charging process, the battery is pro-
tected and always fully charged.
Rapid charging is only possible when the temperature
of the battery is between +5 °C and +45 °C.
The charging unit it suitable for continuous operation.
Display and Key
Blinking green indicator light: The battery has con-
tact; charging is in progress (max. 60 minutes).
Constant green indicator light: The battery is
charged; the charger has switched to maintaining
charge.
Constant red light: The battery is not connected or
too warm. Remove the battery from the charger and
reconnect or allow to cool off to room temperature,
then recommence charging.
Constant red light: The battery is too hot or too cold.
The charging process begins automatically as soon
as the battery is in the permissible temperature range.
Blinking red ligh: 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.
If the batteries cannot be charged correctly:
1. Make sure the socket is providing voltage.
2. Make sure the charging points provide good
contact.
3. Should charging still not be possible, please send
the battery and battery charger to our nearest serv-
ice centre.
Notes for the correct use of the battery:
– To obtain the maximum service life, do not
recharge the battery immediately after a short
period of use but, if possible, discharge to the lower
capacity limit and then recharge.
– Avoid to the extent possible the blocking of the
machine. The resulting excessive current flow
leads to quick discharging and increased wear of
the battery.
– An increasingly shorter operating time per recharg-
ing of the battery is an indication that the battery is
worn out and must be replaced.
Do not carry out any repair on the charger yourself!
As a basic rule, return the faulty machine to our next
customer service centre (also in the case of defective
mains cables)!

Putting into Operation
Convince yourself before using that the battery is
securely seated in the machine.
Switching On/Off
With the ON/OFF switch 1 the torque can be continu-
ously controlled in the application selected by the
mechanical 2-speed selector and adjusted to process
various materials.
Rotation direction selector
Pressing the rotation direction selector 2 as far as it
will go causes the drill to rotate in the corresponding
direction. The ON/OFF switch is blocked in the middle
position, thus preventing the drill being switched on
unintentionally and protecting the battery from unde-
sired discharge.
Attention! Change direction of rotation only when
the motor has ceased turning!
