2. Push into location and turn cutting attachment guard
in the direction illustrated in Picture C, until a click is
heard and the cutting attachment guard is securely
locked in position.
Note: Ensure the cutting attachment guard is securely
in place by attempting to twist the guard.
OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING
• Make sure you have the proper personal protective
equipment.
• Inspect the cleanliness of the power tool. Make sure the
handles are dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
• Inspect for correct alignment of moving parts.
• Inspect for broken or damaged parts. Do not use the
power tool if any damage affects safety or operation.
Have damage repaired by an authorized service center.
• Install the battery pack.
INITIAL CHARGING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Use the charger indoors only.
Ensure the charger is not exposed to moisture. Keep
the charger and the battery pack dry at all times. Keep
the charger well ventilated during charging.
The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in
the battery charger before using your product for the first
time.
The battery can be charged at any time without reducing
its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does
not damage the battery. The battery includes built-in
protection against deep discharging. When the battery is
run down or discharged, the product is shut off by means
of a protective circuit.
Charging the battery (D)
1. Connect the charger to the power supply. The mains
voltage and operating voltage of the charger must be
the same. Operate the charger only in enclosed and
dry rooms at ambient temperatures between 0°C and
45°C.
2. Push the battery pack into the charger (D).
• Do not use other battery chargers. The supplied battery
charger is designed for the battery in your product.
• The voltage of the power supply must correspond with
the data given on the nameplate of the battery charger.
Battery charger can operate between 100-240V/AC.
• The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that
allows charging only in the temperature range between
0 °C and 45 °C. In this manner, a high battery service
life is achieved.
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug
of the battery charger is plugged into the socket outlet and
the battery is inserted into the charging compartment.
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging
condition of the battery is automatically detected and the
battery is charged with the optimum charging current,
depending on battery temperature and voltage. This gives
longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully charged
when kept in the charger for storage.
The charging procedure is indicated by the charger control
light flashing green.
Battery charge indication (E)
During the charging procedure, the battery charge
indicator lights show the battery capacity.
Battery charged
The battery is fully charged when the battery lights go out
and the charger control light shows a continuous green
light.
Afterwards, the battery can be removed for immediate
use.
With no battery inserted, the charger control light is solid
red, indicating that the mains plug is plugged into the
socket and that the battery charger is ready for operation.
Battery temperature below 0°C or above 45°C
If the charger control light flashes red when the battery is
installed, this indicates that the battery temperature is not
within the charging temperature range of 0°C – 45°C.
As soon as the allowable temperature range is reached,
the battery charger automatically switches to charging.
Charging advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles
without interruption, the charger can become warm. This
is not meaningful and does not indicate a technical defect
of the battery charger.
A significantly reduced working period after charging
indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Battery charge-control indication (E)
Press the button to actuate the three battery charge
indicator lights. After approximately 5 seconds, the lights
go out automatically.
The charge condition can also be checked when the
battery is removed.
When no battery charge indicator lights up after actuating
the button, the battery is defective and must be replaced.
For safety reasons, the charge condition of the battery can
only be checked when the product is at a standstill.
Temperature control indicator
If the red warning light illuminates for 5 seconds after
pressing the button on the battery, this signals that the
battery or the electronics of the product (with battery
inserted) are not within the optimum temperature range.
When this occurs, the product will not operate, or it will not
operate at full capacity.
Temperature control of the battery
If the red warning light flashes when pushing button or
pressing the On/Off switch (when the battery is inserted):
The battery is not within the temperature range for
operation of -16±3°C to 69±3°C.
The battery switches off at a temperature above 70°C until
the optimum temperature range is reached again.
Battery duration
Switching the machine on and off frequently during cutting
will reduce the battery duration. To increase the run time
an additional battery can be purchased.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK (F)
1. Push both battery release buttons (1 on each side).
The battery holder tray releases and rotates down.
2. Insert the battery into the tray.
3. Push the tray back up until it clicks into position.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE TOOL (G)
To start the tool, use your thumb to push the lockout down
(G1). While holding the lockout down, squeeze the trigger
to turn on the tool (G2).
To stop the tool, release the trigger and lockout. The
lockout and trigger must both return to their original
positions. The cutting head will stop in approximately one
second.
