3. BATTERY & CHARGING
Charging your lithium ion battery
The chainsaw’s battery has been shipped in a low charge condition,
and requires charging prior to use. Allow several cycles of charging and
discharging (through use of the chainsaw) for the battery to reach its
optimum performance / runtime.
1. Connect the charger into a mains power outlet.
2. The charger LED will
illuminate red showing power
is being supplied to the
charger.
3. With the charger sitting flat on a bench/
table, align the raised ribs on the battery
with the recess in the charger and
slide onto the charger ensuring a firm
connection.
4. The charger LED will flash green signifying
that the battery is charging.
5. The charger LED will stop flashing and
illuminate green once the battery is fully
charged. A battery takes up to 3 hours to
become fully charged.
CAUTION!
IF THE BATTERY IS TOO HOT OR TOO
COLD WHEN INSERTED INTO THE CHARGER, THE
CHARGING LED WILL FLASH RED. CHARGING
WILL AUTOMATICALLY BEGIN ONCE THE BATTERY
REACHES TO CORRECT CHARGING TEMPERATURE.

Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with the battery protection system, which helps to
ensure a long service life.
The output power automatically cuts off during operation when the tool
and/or battery are placed under the following situations:
• When the tool is overloaded:
If this occurs, release the trigger switch and remove causes of
overload, then pull the switch trigger again to restart.
• When the remaining battery capacity becomes low:
Recharge the battery pack.
Note:
The battery protection system does not in any way damage the
tool.
Note:
The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual level during
use or immediately after using the tool.
Inserting the battery pack
Align the raised ribs on the
battery with grooves on the
chainsaw. Slide the battery into
the chainsaw. Ensure the latch
on the bottom of the battery
clicks in place and that it is
fully
seated and secure.
