Avoid exhaustive discharge :
Do not wait until the blade comes to an absolute stop (battery
totally discharged) as this shortens the battery life.
If the output of the chainsaw decreases noticeably, charge
the battery.
If the battery has been totally discharged, the LED will flash at
the start of charging. If the LED is still flashing after an hour, a
fault has occurred (see 9. Troubleshooting).
WARNING !
Overvoltage damages batteries and the battery
charger.
Ensure the correct mains voltage.
