Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full ca- pacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the bat- tery charger before using your power tool for the first time. The battery must be removed from the vacuum cleaner to charge it. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re- ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery. The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”.
