Note: The battery cover has a magnetic switch that switches off the machine as soon as the battery lid is opened. When you close the battery lid it presses against an enclosing seal (Item B). Check that the seal is not damaged. Push the battery into the battery mount provided. The battery will be heard to click into place when it has been pushed fully in. To take out the battery, press the pushlock button (Item C) and remove he battery.
5.4 Charging the battery (Fig. 12)

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
   Do this by pressing the pushlock button.

2.  Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.

3.  Insert the battery pack into the charger.

4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal. If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts
• If the battery pack still fails to charge, send the charger and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fires.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
5.5 Battery charge level indicator (Fig. 13)
Press the button for the battery charge level indicator (Item D). The battery charge level indicator (Item E) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged. 2 or 1
LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED blinks:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me- ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations governing noise abatement may differ from one location to another.
Warning!

1. Make sure that you have fitted the brush/pad intended for the surface material you want to clean.
2. Inspect the brush/pad for dirt before you start your work and clean it if required.
3. The surface to be cleaned must be free of ob- jects such as stones, twigs, etc. These could be flung up by the rotating brush or scratch the surface.

a) Switching on
Press the On/Off switch (Fig. 14 / Item 2).
b) Switching off
Press the On/Off switch again (Fig. 14 / Item 2).
6.2 Speed switch (Fig. 14 / Item 3)
“I” => Low speed, longer battery running time.
“II” => High speed, shorter battery running time.
Pressing several times will change the speed (I/II).
6.3 Practical tips
Important! Use only original accessories.

• For optimum cleaning results always select the correct accessories for the job in hand. See section 5.1 for guidance. Before you use n accessory, test its suitability on an inconspicuous area.
• Do not use any worn accessories.
• Take care to apply uniform contact pressure.
• Excessive contact pressure will not result in better cleaning results. The machine and the accessories will suffer greater wear.

Cleaning

• The surroundings of the area you want to clean can be protected from splashing by means of suitable coverings.
• Use a suitable cleaning agent to dampen your choice of accessories or spray the agent on the surface you want to clean.
• To prevent splashing, do not switch on the machine until you have placed the accessories evenly on the surface to be cleaned.
•  Guide the MEDIUM 90/20 roller-shaped brush slowly and in lines (similar to a broom) over the surface to be cleaned.
•  Round accessories must be guided slowly and in circles over the surface to be cleaned.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering spare parts

Before putting away or cleaning the equipment, switch off and remove the battery pack.
7.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend cleaning the equipment immediately each time after use.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the equipment. The ingress of water into an electric power tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

7.2 Maintenance
There are no other parts inside the equipment which require maintenance.
7.3 Ordering spare parts
Please provide the following information when ordering spare parts:

• Type of unit
•  Article number of the unit
• ID number of the unit
•  Spare part number of the required spare part

Storage
Store the equipment and its accessories in a dark and dry place at above freezing temperature. The ideal storage temperature is between 5 and 30 °C. Store the electric equipment in its original packaging.
Do not bend the rubber lips of the splash guard (Fig. 1/Item 7) outwards. Store the equipment in such a way that the rubber lips are not in contact with the fl oor/ground as far as possible.
8.1 Wall bracket (Fig. 15)
You can use the wall bracket (Fig. 2 / Item 15) for storage purposes.
Caution! Check that there are no electric cables or other installations (such as water pipes) near the drill holes. Make sure that the wall bracket is fi tted securely and horizontally. Use only suitable fasteners on a wall capable of bearing the load.
The supplied wall plugs and screws are suitable for the following:
Concrete, natural stone with a dense structure, solid bricks, solid limestone bricks, solid lightweight concrete bricks, and aerated concrete.
Transport

• Always carry the machine with one hand on the handle.
•  Secure the equipment against slipping if you transport it in a vehicle.
•  As far as possible, use the original packaging for transporting the equipment.
