Assembly
Warning! Before assembly, remove the battery (10) from the
tool.
Fitting and removing the battery (fig. A)
To fit the battery (10), line it up with the receptacle on
the tool. Slide the battery (10) into the receptacle and
push until the battery (10) snaps into place.
To remove the battery (10), push the release button (24)
while at the same time pulling the battery (10) out of the
receptacle.
Warning! To prevent accidental operation, make sure that
the battery is removed and that the chain sheath (11) is in
place on the saw chain (8) before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in serious personal
injury.
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.
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 is approximately
24°C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery pack 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.
To charge the battery (10), 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 it. Make sure that
the battery is fully seated in the charger.
Plug in the charger (12) and switch on at the mains.
The charging indicator (23) will flash green continuously
(slowly).
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (23)
lights green continuously. The charger and the battery can
be left connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The
LED will change to flashing green (charging) state as the
charger occasionally tops off the battery charge. The
charging indicator (23) will be lit as long as the battery is
connected to the plugged-in charger.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life
will be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected
indefinitely with the LED lit. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the
charging indicator (23) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed
as follows:
Re-insert the battery (10)
If the charging indicator continues flashing red at a fast
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
service centre.
Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow,
one flash at each speed and repeat.
Installing and removing the saw chain (fig. C, E & G)
Always wear protective gloves when installing or
removing the saw chain (8). The saw chain is
sharp and can cut you when it is not running.
Place the tool on a firm and stable surface.
Loosen the two Allen screws (14) using the Allen key
(21) provided. Remove the Allen screws (14).
Remove the chain cover assembly (6).
Turn the chain tension adjustment screw (7) counter
clockwise to allow the guide bar (9) to recede and to
reduce the tension on the saw chain (8).
Remove the old saw chain (8) from the sprocket (15)
and the guide bar (9).
Place the new saw chain (8) in the groove of the guide
bar (9) and around the sprocket (15). Make sure that the
teeth are facing the correct direction by matching the
arrow on the saw chain (8) with the arrow on the chain
cover assembly (6).
Make sure that the slot (17) in the guide bar (9) is over
the location pins (18) and that the hole (20) below the
slot is located over the adjustment pin (19).
Fit the chain cover assembly (6) and the 2 Allen screws
(14).
Tighten the Allen screws (14) using the Allen key (21)
provided.
