(Original instructions)
u To charge the battery (12), insert it into the charger (19).
The battery will only t into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
u Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
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 indenitely. The charging indicator will
switch on as the charger occasionally tops up the battery
charge.
u Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
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 indenitely. The charger will keep
the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the charg-
ing indicator (18) will ash red at a fast rate. Proceed as
follows:
u Re-insert the battery (12).
u If the charging indicators continues ashing red at a fast
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
u If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
u If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
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 ash at each speed and repeat.
Filling the oil reservoir (g. O)
u Remove the oil cap (3) and ll the reservoir with the
recommended chain oil. You can see the oil level in the oil
level indicator (11). Ret the oil cap (3).
u Periodically switch off and check the oil level indicator
(11); if it is less than a quarter full, remove the battery from
the chainsaw and rell 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).
u Lubricate the saw chain (6) by slowly pressing the bulb
(17) (g. O) on the oil cap (3) four time before making
each cut. Hold the bulb down for 1 second each time.
Switching on (g. O)
u Grip your chainsaw rmly with both hands. Pull the lock-off
button (2) with your thumb and then push the on/off switch
(1) to start.
u When the motor starts, remove your thumb from the lock-
off button (2) and grip the handle rmly.
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
u Switch the tool off.
u Remove the battery (12).
u Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain on the
guide bar (7). Do not try to wrench the chainsaw free.
u Start a fresh cut.
Felling (g. P, Q & R)
Inexperienced users should not attempt to fell trees. The user
may suffer injury or cause damage to property as a result of
failure to control the direction of fall, the tree may splinter or
damaged/dead branches may fall during cutting.
The safe distance between a tree to be felled and bystanders,
buildings and other objects is at least 2 1/2 times the height of
the tree. Any bystander, building or object within this distance
is at risk from being struck by the tree when felled.
Before attempting to fell a tree:
u Make sure that there are no local by-laws or regulations
that would prohibit or control the felling of the tree.
u Consider all conditions that may affect the direction of fall,
including:
u The intended direction of fall.
u The natural lean of the tree.
u Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
u Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead
lines and underground drains.
u The wind speed and direction.
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling trees or branches. Make sure
that the exit route is clear of obstacles that would prevent or
hinder movement. Remember that wet grass and freshly cut
bark is slippery.
