battery pack.
• Take off the protective cap (14) before placing
the battery pack (10) in the charger or tool.
• Place the protective cap over the contacts
immediately after removing the battery pack from
the charger or tool.

under no load condition.
Prior to operation:
• Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged.
• Make sure the guards have been mounted
correctly. The saw blade guard must be in closed
position.
