5.4 Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 11-12)
The battery is protected from exhaustive dischar-
ge. An integrated protective circuit automatically
switches off the equipment when the battery is
fl at.
Warning! Do not actuate the On/Off switch any
more if the protective circuit has tripped. This may
damage the battery.
1. Remove the battery pack from the handle,
pressing the pushlock button (13) downwards
to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(18) into the socket outlet. The green LED will
then begin to fl ash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery char-
ger.
In section 12 (Charger indicator) you will fi nd a
table with an explanation of the LED indicator on
the charger.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the
following:
•
voltage at the power socket
•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts of the charging unit
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charger and charging adapter
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that items are properly packaged
and delivered when you send them to us,
please contact our customer service or the
point of sale at which the equipment was
purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

5.5 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 12)
Press the button for the battery capacity indicator
(A). The battery capacity indicator (B) shows the
charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED fl ashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the
battery from the equipment, keep it at room tem-
perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me-
ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone
exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove
the battery from the equipment. Never use or
charge a defective battery.
6. Operation
6.1 Switching on/off
Switching on
•
Plug in the battery on the equipment.
•
Hold the chainsaw by the handles with both
hands as shown in Fig. 13 (thumbs under the
handles).
•
Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 1/Item
5).
•
Switch on the chainsaw at the ON/OFF switch
(Fig. 1/Item 6). You can then release the safe-
ty lock-off.
Switching off
Release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6).
The integrated brake will bring the running chain-
saw to a standstill within a very short space of
time. Always disconnect the mains plug when you
stop working, even if it is only for a short time.
Warning! Always carry the saw by the front
handle. If the saw is plugged in and you carry it by
the rear handle (which is where the switches are
located), then there is a risk that you could acci-
dentally press the safety lock-off and the ON/OFF
switch at the same time, and the chainsaw could
inadvertently start up.
