Tension the chain using the chain tension adjusting ring
u
(5), turn clockwise to tighten (fig K).
Tighten the chain adjust locking knob (9) (fig. L).
u
Fitting and removing the battery (fig. M)
To fit the battery (12), line it up with the receptacle on the
u
tool. Slide the battery into the receptacle and push until
the battery snaps into place.
To remove the battery, push the release buttons (16) while
u
at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle.
Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Charging the battery (fig. N)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were
easily done before. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the
charger will begin to charge automatically when the cell
temperature warms up or cools down.
To charge the battery (12), insert it into the charger (19).
u
The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
u
The charging indicator (18) will blink.
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (18)
switches to continuously on. The charger and the battery
can be left connected indefinitely. The charging indicator will
switch on as the charger occasionally tops up the battery
charge.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
u
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
charger indicator glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep
the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the
charging indicator (18) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as
follows:
Re-insert the battery (12).
u
(Original instructions)
If the charging indicators continues flashing red at a fast
u
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
u
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
u
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
services centre.
Note: It may take as long as 30 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the charger indicator will alternately blink red, fast
and slow, one flash at each speed and repeat.
Filling the oil reservoir (fig. O)
Remove the oil cap (3) and fill the reservoir with the
u
recommended chain oil. You can see the oil level in the oil
level indicator (11). Refit the oil cap (3).
Periodically switch off and check the oil level indicator
u
(11); if it is less than a quarter full, remove the battery from
the chainsaw and refill with the correct oil.
Oiling the chain
We recommend that you use only Black & Decker oil during
the lifetime of your chainsaw because mixtures of different oils
could lead to the oil becoming degraded, which can drastically
shorten the lifetime of the saw chain and create additional
risks.
Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin sewing machine oil.
These may damage your chainsaw.
The saw chain (6) must be oiled before each use and after
cleaning using only the correct grade of oil (cat. no. A6023-
QZ).
Lubricate the saw chain (6) by slowly pressing the bulb
u
(17) (fig. O) on the oil cap (3) four time before making
each cut. Hold the bulb down for 1 second each time.
Switching on (fig. O)
Grip your chainsaw firmly with both hands. Pull the lock-off
u
button (2) with your thumb and then push the on/off switch
(1) to start.
When the motor starts, remove your thumb from the
u
lockoff button (2) and grip the handle firmly.
Do not force the tool, allow the tool to do the work. It will do
a better and safer job at the speed for which it is designed.
Excessive force will stretch the saw chain (6).
If the saw chain (6) or guide bar (7) becomes
jammed
Switch the tool off.
u
Remove the battery (12).
u
Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain on the
u
guide bar (7). Do not try to wrench the chainsaw free.
