Fitting and removing the battery (fig. B)
To fit the battery (8), 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 release buttons (10) while
u
at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle.
Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Charging the battery (fig. C)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenev-
er it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. The battery may become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging tem-
perature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger
will begin to charge automatically when the cell tempera-
ture warms up or cools down.
To charge the battery (8), insert it into the charger (11).
u
The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
u
The charging indicator (12) will flash green continuously
(slowly).
6
(Original instructions)
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (12)
lights green continuously. The charger and the battery can be
left connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The LED
will change to flashing green (charging) state as the charger
occasionally tops up the battery charge. The charging indica-
tor (12) will be lit as long as the battery is connected to the
plugged-in charger.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
u
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
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.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the charg-
ing indicator (12) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as
follows:
Re-insert the battery (8).
u
If the charging indicators continues flashing red at a fast
u
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
u
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
u
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
service centre.
Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one
flash at each speed and repeat.
Switching on and off (fig. D)
The tool is equipped with a switch lock-off feature to prevent
unintentional operation.
To switch the tool on, press the lock off button (2) then
u
squeeze the on/off switch (1).
Once the tool is on, release the lock off button.
u
Releasing the on/off switch turns the tool off.
u
Using the clamping arm (fig. E)
The tool is equipped with a clamping arm which helps to
stabilise the tool on the work piece.
Pull back the clamping arm release button (3). This will
u
release the clamping arm. Once clamping arm is released
you can let go of button.
To switch the tool on, press the lock off button (2) then
u
squeeze the on/off switch (1).
With the saw running, the clamping arm will rotate forward
u
until it comes in contact with the workpiece.
