Operation - Remington RM4050 Operator's Manual

WARNING:
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
WARNING:
Always check the chain tension and adjust as
necessary before beginning operation. Refer to Adjusting the
Chain Tension in the Maintenance section.
WARNING:
Make sure the chain oil reservoir is full
before operation. Check the oil level constantly so that it
does not drop below half full. The saw chain must be
continuously coated with oil to function properly.
CHECKING THE BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL
1. Press the charge meter button (Fig. 11).
2. One or more of the charge meter lights should illuminate (Fig. 11).
The number and color of the lights will indicate the current
battery charge level:
• 3 Green Lights = 66 - 100% Charge
• 2 Green Lights = 33 - 66% Charge
• 1 Green Light = 1 - 33% Charge
• 1 Red Light = 0% Charge
3. If the red light illuminates, charge the battery before any further use.
NOTE: While in use, lithium-ion batteries provide power with
minimal power fade. When the battery is fully discharged, it will
immediately cut power to the unit and require charging.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Follow all safety instructions. Refer to the Safety section.
• Only cut wood and materials made of wood. Do not attempt to
cut sheet metal, plastics, masonry or any other non-wood
materials.
• Work slowly and maintain careful control.
• Practice cutting a few small branches before beginning a major
cutting operation.
• Do not attempt to cut branches with diameters larger than 6 in.
(15.2 cm).
• Remove lower branches first to allow clear access to higher
branches and to provide space for falling branches.
• Remove long branches in stages, not all at once.
PREPARING THE WORK AREA
• Clear the area of children, bystanders and pets; keep them
outside a 50-foot (15 m) radius, at a minimum. Even then, they
are still at risk from thrown objects. Encourage bystanders to
wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the unit
immediately.
• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not
start cutting until the work area is clear and free from
obstructions. Make sure there is secure footing and a planned
retreat path from falling branches.
