Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of 
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending 
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may 
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety 
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly 
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration 
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the 
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the 
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off 
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.

Charging the battery (Fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before rst use and 
whenever it fails to produce sufcient power on jobs that were 
easily done before. The battery may become warm while 
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures 
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging 
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell 
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the 
charger will begin to charge automatically when the cell 
temperature warms up or cools down.
Note: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion 
battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before rst use.
