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/o ff
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 o ff
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-o ff and the ON/OFF
switch at the same time, and the chainsaw could
inadvertently start up.
6.2 Safety devices
Motor brake
The motor brakes the saw chain as soon as the
ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6) is released or the
power supply is interrupted. This signi fi cantly
reduces the risk of injury that would otherwise be
present if the chain continued to run after being
switched o ff or disconnected.
Chain brake
The chain brake is a safety mechanism which is
triggered via the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2).
If kickback causes the chainsaw to suddenly jerk
back then the chain brake trips and stops the saw
chain in less than 0.1 seconds. You must check
the operation of the chain brake on a regular ba-
sis. To do this, fold the hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2)
forward and brie fl y switch the chainsaw on. The
saw chain must not start up.
Pull back the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) until
it engages to release the chain brake.
Danger! Never use the saw if the safety equip-
ment is not working properly. Never try to repair
