BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should
be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to
heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept
clean.
For an optimum life-time, after use, the battery packs have to
be fully charged.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery
pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit
situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for
about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will fl ash,and then the tool
will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery could become to high. If this happens, the fuel gauge
will fl ash and the battery pack cool and then continue work.
WORKING TIPS
Use low speed and cut further in from the end of the material
to avoid crooked cuts.
Do not attempt angled cuts. It will damage the blade. Hold the
material squarely between the blades.
Cut clean material to extend the blade life. Wipe dirt and
debris from material and blades before beginning the cut.
Jam Release
If the blade becomes jammed in the material, all fuel gauge
LEDs will blink. Follow these steps in order until the jam is
released.
Move the speed control switch to „1“ and attempt to complete
the cut. If unsuccessful...
Move the speed control switch between „1“ and „2“ several
times back and forth. Pull the blade release lever. If the jam is
not released...
Remove the battery pack, then use the hex wrench to loosen
the blade release bolt. Loosen the bolt until the bolt collar is
free of the blade. Pull the blade release lever. Be sure to
securely tighten the blade bolt before continuing work. If the
jam is not released...
Remove the upper blade bolt. Be sure to securely tighten the
upper blade bolt before continuing work.
