• When only the lowermost indicator lamp (next to the
"E") blinks, or when none of the indicator lamps light,
the battery capacity has run out, so the tool does not
operate. In these cases, charge the battery or replace
the empty battery with a fully charged one.
• When two or more indicator lamps do not light even
after charging is complete, the battery has reached the
end of its service life.
• When the upper two and lower two indicator lamps light
alternately, the battery may have malfunctioned.
Contact your local Dolmar authorized service center.
NOTE:
• The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual
level during use or immediately after using the tool.
• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient
temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the
actual capacity.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool. Failure to switch off and remove
the battery cartridge may result in serious personal
injury from accidental start-up.
• Never start the tool unless it is completely
assembled. Operation of the tool in a partially
assembled state may result in serious personal injury
from accidental start-up.

the wings. (Fig. 21)
NOTICE:
• Do not push the wings outward too much.
Otherwise it may break.
Fix the guard to the clamp with two bolts as shown.

guard extension starts to slide it is unlocked and can be
removed by continuing to slide it off of the guard.
