Bad battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged
battery. The LED flashes in the pattern indi-
cated on the label. If you see this bad battery
blink pattern, do not continue to charge the battery. Return it
to a service center or a collection site for ecycling.
Hot/cold pack delay
When the charger detects a battery that
is excessively hot or excessively cold, it
automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has normalized. After
this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack
Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
The light flashes in the pattern indicated on the label.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged. This charger features
an automatic tune-up mode which equals or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to function at
peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or
whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount
of work. To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the
battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.
Important charging notes
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
u
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 18 ° – 24 °C. DO NOT charge the battery pack in
an air temperature below +4.5 °C, or above +40 °C. This
is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
u
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
u
Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
u
or other appliance;
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
u
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
Move the charger and battery pack to a location
u
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 18 ° – 24 °C.
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
u
pack and charger to your local service center.
(Original instructions)
The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
u
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
u
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from charger cavities. Unplug the
charger before attempting to clean.
Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
u
other liquid.
Fitting and removing the battery (fig. A3)
To fit the battery (20), line it up with the receptacle on the
u
tool. Slide the battery into the receptacle and push until
the battery snaps into place.
To remove the battery, push the battery release button
u
(20a) while at the same time pulling the battery out of the
receptacle.
Using the blower attachment

Warning! Before assembly, make sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery is removed.
Installing the Guide Bar and Saw Chain (fig. A4, A5,
A6, A7, A8)
Warning! Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves when
handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you when
it is not running.
If the saw chain (11) and guide bar (10) are packed separately
in the carton, the chain has to be attached to the bar, and both
must be attached to the body of the tool.
Place the saw on a flat, firm surface.
u
Rotate the bar adjust locking knob (23) counterclockwise
u
as shown in figure B1 to remove sprocket cover (22).
Wearing protective gloves, grasp the saw chain (11) and
u
wrap it around the guide bar (10), ensuring the teeth are
facing the correct direction (see figure A8)
Ensure the chain is properly set in the slot around the
u
entire guide bar.
Place the saw chain around the sprocket (24) while lining
u
up the slot on the guide bar with the bolt (25) in the base
of the tool as shown in figure A5.
The tensioning knob must be rotated counterclockwise till
u
it stops. Arrows on the sprocket cover and tensioning knob
must align before the cover is replaced. Once in place,
hold the bar still, replace sprocket cover (22).
