IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in
6 to 9 hours. If the battery pack is run-down completely, it may
take up to 9 hours to become fully charged. Your battery pack
was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before
attempting to use it, it must be charged for at least 9 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below
+40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and
will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. Longest life and
best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged
when air temperature is about 75°F (24°C).
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to
touch. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a
problem.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly—(1) Check current
at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check
to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns
power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and
battery pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (+4.5°C) to
105°F (+40.5°C). (4) If the receptacle and temperature are OK,
and you do not get proper charging, take or send the battery
pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center.
See Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO
NOT CONTINUE using unit with its battery pack in a depleted
condition.
6. The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being
cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the
battery pack down completely before recharging. Normal usage
is the best method of discharging and recharging the battery
pack.
Preparing Your Alligator Lopper
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury
WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that the battery is disconnected from the tool
before performing the following operations. Failure to do this
could result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Sharp moving blade. Always wear protective
gloves when installing or removing the chain. The chain is sharp
and can cut you when it is not running.
Chain tension adjustment (fig.
WARNING: Before chain or other adjustments, make sure
that the battery is disconnected from the tool.
If the chain cannot be correctly tensioned, it may need to be
replaced. Contact your nearest service center.
The product comes ready assembled. However we recommend that
you check the tension of the chain, and chain retention bolts before
use and if required adjust.
Checking and adjusting the chain tension (fig. E)
To tension the chain slacken the two chain cover retention bolts (11)
with the wrench (12) and the chain tensioning device will push the
chain bar out, setting the correct tension. Retighten the two
retention bolts (11) securely.
Check that the correct tension has been set by lightly pulling on the
chain. The tension is correct when the chain snaps back after being
pulled 1/8 inch (3 mm) away from the guide bar. There should be no
"sag" between the guide bar and chain on the underside.
Note: Do not over tension the chain as this will lead to excessive
wear and reduce the life of the bar and chain. It will also lead to
reduced product performance.
Note: With first use and when the chain is new, check tension
frequently as a new chain stretches slightly.
Replacing the chain and chain bar
For Use
After prolonged use the chain and / or chain bar may need
replacing. Use Black & Decker replacement chain RC600 only.
