4.1 Charging the rechargeable battery
Check whether the rated voltage of the rechargeable
battery agrees with the information specified on the
machine.
Rechargeable battery and charger are matched to
each other. Only use the MAFELL – APS 36
rechargeable power station for charging.
Before using a new machine, first of all charge the
rechargeable battery.
A description of the initial operation of the APS 36
and a description of the charging operation can be
found in the enclosed instructions "APS 36
rechargeable power station".
The rechargeable battery is equipped with a
temperature monitoring system. This guarantees that
the rechargeable battery is only charged in the
temperature range between 0°C and 45°C. This
achieves a long service life for the rechargeable
battery.
A considerably shortened operating time per charging
procedure indicates that the rechargeable battery is
spent and needs to be replaced.
Danger
Explosion hazard
Protect the rechargeable battery
against heat, fire and moisture.
Do not place the rechargeable battery onto heating
appliances and do not expose the rechargeable
battery to strong solar radiation for a longer period of
time. Temperature sabove 50°C are detrimental to
the
rechargeable
battery.
Allow
a
heated
rechargeable battery to cool down before charging it.
Do not open the rechargeable
battery and protect it against
impacts. Keep the rechargeable
battery in a dry and frost-proof
place.
Danger
Cover the rechargeable battery's
contacts if it is stored outside the
charger. There is a fire and
explosion hazard in case of a short
circuit caused by metallic
jumpering.
Follow the instructions for the
protection of the environment.
4.2 Fitting the rechargeable battery
Slide the charged rechargeable battery into the
battery guide below the handle until it perceptibly

locking lever 19 (Fig. 3) and pull it out of the battery
guide.
Do not use force to do so.
4.4 Chip extraction
Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The internal diameter of the integrated extraction
connection 11 (fig. 3) amounts to 35 mm ( 1 3/8 in. ).
4.5 Saw blade selection
Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
