CHARGING PROCEDURE

•     Connect the plug cable to the charger, and then plug into 

an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack (Fig. 

C). All three charging lights will be on for two seconds and 

then off.

•     Insert the battery pack into the charger, making sure the 

pack is fully seated in the charger (Fig.D). During the 

charging process, the charging lights will indicate the 

charging status as follows:

-     Less than 30% charged: all three charging lights will 

blink in sequence.

-     Less than 60% charged: one light will stay on, while the 

other two lights will blink in sequence.

-     Over 60% charged: two lights will stay on, while the 

remaining light will blink continuously.

-     Fully charged: all three lights will remain on 

continuously.

•     The charging process will be last approximately 35 minutes 

(2.0 Ah battery pack) or 65 minutes (4.0 Ah battery pack)

and permanent lighting of all three charging lights will 

indicate charging is complete.

CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS

The charger is designed to detect certain problems that can 

arise with battery packs.
•     When the charger detects a battery pack that is 

overheated, all three charging lights will blink at the same 

time. Please remove the battery and allow it to cool down 

for 15—30 minutes and re-insert.

TRUCTIONS

CAUTION! 

•   Before attempting to charge the battery, check the charger 

and the battery to ensure the charging equipment matches 

the battery supplied. The components are all labeled with 

component numbers.

•   The rechargeable battery is not fully charged on leaving the 

factory. Charge the rechargeable battery before first use.

•   Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use 

or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest battery 

life, do not discharge batteries fully.

•   The working temperature of the charger is 4-40°C              

(40-104°F).

•     When the charger detects a malfunction in the battery, two charging lights will blink 

at the same time. Please remove the battery and allow it to cool down for 15—30 

minutes. Then re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If two charging lights still 

flash, the battery may require service.

•     When the charger detects a malfunction of the charger 

itself, three charging lights will blink at the same time. 

Please remove the battery pack and unplug the charger for 

at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug charger back in 

and re-insert the pack into the charger. If all three charging 

lights still blink at the same time, the charger may require 

service.

TRIGGER SWITCH 

The saw is controlled by a trigger switch and lock off button.
The lock off button must be pressed down before the trigger 

switch will turn the saw on. Releasing the trigger turns the saw 

off (Fig. E).

REMAINING POWER INDICATOR

If the saw is turned on, the remaining power indicator lights for 

5 seconds and the battery’s remaining power can be checked  

(Fig. F).
