of specially and not placed in normal household rubbish.

Insertion and removal of your battery pack
Before removing the battery pack from the charger or inserting it into the charger, always ensure
the plug is not in the mains socket.
When attaching the battery pack, the groove in the battery pack must align with the guide on the
cordless circular saw. The battery pack should insert easily into the charger. Do not use any
disproportionate force during insertion or the battery pack may not end up in its correct
position. After the battery pack has been inserted check that the retaining clips have engaged
and the battery pack is seated firmly in the charger.
To remove the battery pack from the charger press the retaining clips on the sides of the battery
pack and remove it.
Charging the battery pack
Before inserting the battery pack into the charger or removing it from the charger, always ensure
the plug is not in the mains socket.
Insert the battery pack so that it is firmly held in the charger. Push the plug into the mains socket.
The red charging light indicates that charging has begun. The red light will go out after about
1 hour. The green charging light lets you know when charging is complete and the battery pack is
ready for use.
If you wish to charge a second battery pack, pull out the plug from the mains supply and keep the
charger off for at least 15 minutes. Then you can start to charge the second battery. If you do not
remove the plug from the mains socket before the second charging process starts then the second
battery cannot be charged.
WARNING !
• A new battery pack is not charged and must be fully charged before first use.
Never charge the battery pack again immediately after a fast charging process has been
completed. This can give rise to the battery pack being overcharged and a reduced life of the
battery and charger.
• Switch off the charger for at least 15 minutes between charges by removing the plug from the
mains socket.
• If you use a multiway socket adapter, unplug all other electrical equipment from the adapter.
