Continuous lighting of the red LED 24 indicates that the bat-
tery temperature is not within the rapid-charging temperature
range of 0 °C – 45 °C. As soon as the allowable temperature
range is reached, the battery charger automatically switches
to rapid charging.
When the battery is not within the allowable temperature
range, the red battery LED lights up when inserting the bat-
tery into the battery charger.
No charging procedure possible

If a different malfunction of the charging procedure is pre-
sent, this will be indicated through flashing of the red charge
control LED 24.
The charging procedure cannot be started and the battery
cannot be charged (see "Fehlersuche").
Charging Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without
interruption, the charger can warm up. This is not meaningful
and does not indicate a technical defect of the battery charg-
er.
A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Battery Cooling (Active Air Cooling)
The fan control integrated in the battery charger controls the
temperature of the inserted battery. When the battery tem-
perature is above 30 °C, a fan cools down the battery to the
optimal charging temperature. The switched-on fan produces
a fan noise.
The battery temperature is within the optimal charging tem-
perature range when the fan is not running. Another reason
for a non working fan might be that it is defective. In this case,
the charging time of the battery might be extended.

Mounting and Tensioning the Chain
Saw (see figures C1–C4)
 Do not insert battery before the chain saw is complete-
ly assembled.
 Always wear protective gloves when handling the
chain.
Chain and Chain Bar Assembly
– Unpack all parts carefully.
– Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.
 Use only Bosch approved chains designed for chain-
bars with 1.1 mm groove (gauge).
– Remove cover 13 by turning the black Locking knob 12.
– Slide the saw chain 11 in the slot around the chain bar 10.
Ensure the saw chain is in the correct running direction by
comparing the saw chain with the rotation symbol 27 on
bar 10.
– Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket 28 and guide the
chain bar 10, so that the fastening bolt 29 and the two
guide fins 32 fit into the keyway of the chain bar 10, and
that the chain tensioning pegs 30 fits into the respective
holes of the chain bar 10.
If necessary, turn the chain tensioning knob 15 to bring
tensioning pegs 30 in alignment with the hole in the chain
bar 10.
– Check if all parts are seated properly and hold the chain
bar and the chain in this position.
– Turn the chain tensioning knob 15 until all the slack is tak-
en up in the saw chain 11.
– Fit the cover 13 exactly and take care that the chain catch
bolt 33 engages into the groove of the cover plate 13.
– Lightly tighten the cover 13 with the locking knob 12.
– The chain is not yet tensioned. The saw chain is tensioned
as described in section "Tensioning the Saw Chain".
Tensioning the Saw Chain (see figure D)
Always check the chain tension before use, after the first cuts
and regularly during use approx. every 10 minutes. Upon ini-
tial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably.
The chain life of the saw chain mainly depends upon sufficient
lubrication and correct tensioning.
Avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will cause the
chain to become overtensioned and face too tightly against
the chain bar when it cools down.
– Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface.
– Loosen locking knob 12 until it is just holding chain bar 10
in position (do not remove!).
– Check if the chain links are correctly located in the slot
around the chain bar 10 and on the drive sprocket 28.
– Turn chain tensioning knob 15 clockwise until the correct
chain tension is reached. The turning action forces the
chain bar 10 forward via the chain tensioning pegs 30.
