Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Use the tool on wet or soapy surfaces.
Use the tool with 1 extension for short reach applications.
Use the tool with 2 extensions for extra long reach
applications
If the tool starts running slowly, reduce the load.
If possible, keep the battery connected to the charger and
the charger plugged in whenever the tool is not in use.
Charging the battery (fig. B)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were
easily done before. When charging the battery for the first
time, or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80%
charge. After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery
will attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
8
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
8 hour charger
To charge the battery (17), remove it from the tool and
slide the charger receptacle (13) onto the battery.
Plug in the charger (12).
The battery will be fully charged in approx. 8 hours. It can be
removed at any time or left in the connected charger indefinitely.
1 hour charger
To charge the battery (17), remove it from the tool and
insert it into the charger (12). The battery will only fit into
the charger in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the
battery is fully seated in the charger.
Plug in the charger.
Check if the red charging indicator (14) lights up. If the green
end of charge indicator (15) lights up now instead, the battery
is too hot and cannot be charged. If this happens, remove the
battery from the charger, let the battery cool down for approx.
1 hour and re-insert it.
After approx. 1 hour of charging, the red charging indicator will
stop lighting and the green end of charge indicator will light
up. The battery is now fully charged.
Remove the battery from the charger.
Switching on and off (fig. G)
To switch the tool on, set the on/off switch (1) to position I.
To switch the tool off, set the on/off switch to position O.
Changing the operating mode (fig. H & I)
The tool can be set into pivot mode or fixed mode. The pivot
mode enables a free rotatation of the brush head. The fixed
mode restricts the rotation of the brush head. The brush head
can be fixed at any angle within 80° of rotation.
Pull out the lock clip (5).
For the pivot mode, rotate the clip 180° to the unlock symbol.
For the fixed mode, rotate the clip 180° to the lock symbol.
Push the clip back until it locks into place.
Using the tool in pivot mode
Hold the tool as shown in fig. J & K.
Using the tool in fixed mode
Hold the tool as shown in fig. L.

Hints for optimum use

Use the pivot mode for contoured surface and cleaning
large areas with a back and forth motion.
Use the fixed mode for aggressive scrubbing and cleaning
with a side to side motion.
