Charging the battery (XII)
Caution! Before charging, disconnect the charging station power unit from the mains by removing the plug from the mains socket.
In addition, remove any dirt and dust from the battery and battery clamps with a soft, dry cloth.
The battery has a built-in charge indicator. The LEDs will light up by pressing the button. The more of them come on, the more
charged the battery is. If the LEDs do not light up when the button is pressed, the battery is discharged.
Disconnect the battery from the tool.
Slide the battery into the charger socket.
Plug the charger into a mains socket.
The red LED will light up, which indicates the charging process.
When charging is complete, the red LED will turn off and the green LED will light up to indicate that the battery is fully charged.
Pull the power unit plug out of the mains socket.
Pull the battery out of the charging station by pressing the battery latch button.
Caution! If the green LED lights up when the charger is connected to the mains, this means that the battery is fully charged. In this
case, the charger will not start the charging process.
Safety instructions for battery charging
Caution! Before starting charging, make sure that the power unit body, cord and plug are not cracked or damaged. It is forbidden to
use a defective or damaged charging station and power unit! Use only the supplied charging station and power unit to charge the
batteries. The use of another power unit may result in fi re or damage to the tool. The battery should only be charged in a closed,
dry room, protected against unauthorised access, especially by children. Do not use the charging station and power unit without
the constant supervision of an adult! If you need to leave the room where the tool is charging, disconnect the charger from the
mains by removing the power unit plug from the mains socket. If smoke, suspicious odours, etc. are escaping from the charger,
immediately remove the charger plug from the mains socket!
The tool is supplied with an uncharged battery and should therefore be charged according to the procedure described below with
the included power unit and charging station before use. Li-ion (lithium-ion) batteries do not have the so-called "memory eff ect",
which means they can be recharged at any time. However, it is recommended to discharge the battery during normal operation
and then charge it to full capacity. If, due to the nature of work, it is not possible to use the battery in such a manner every time,
it should be done at least every several work cycles. Never discharge any batteries by short-circuiting the battery plates, as this
will cause irreparable damage! In addition, do not check the battery charge status by short-circuiting the plates and checking their
sparking.
Storing the battery
Ensure proper storage conditions to extend the battery's life. The battery can last for approximately 500 charge-discharge cycles.
Store the battery at a temperature ranging from 0ºC to 30ºC at relative air humidity of 50%. Charge the battery to approx. 70% of
its total capacity to store it for a longer period of time. In case of prolonged storage, the battery should be periodically charged once
a year. Do not over-discharge the battery as this will shorten its life and may cause irreparable damage.
During storage, the battery will gradually discharge due to leakage. The self-discharge process depends on the storage tempera-
ture – the higher the temperature is, the faster the discharge process is. If the batteries are stored incorrectly, the electrolyte may
leak. In case of leakage, secure the leak with a neutralising agent. In the case of electrolyte contact with eyes, rinse eyes thor-
oughly with water, and immediately seek medical attention. It is not allowed to use the tool with a damaged battery. If the battery
is completely worn, return it to a specialist waste disposal centre.
Transporting the batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are treated as hazardous goods, according to legal regulations. The user of the tool can transport the product
together with the battery and the batteries alone by land. In that case, no additional conditions have to be met. If you entrust trans-
port to third parties (e.g. a courier company), follow the regulations regarding the transport of hazardous goods. Before shipping,
please contact a properly qualifi ed person. It is not allowed to transport damaged batteries. For the duration of transport, remove
the demountable batteries from the product and secure the exposed contacts, e.g. by covering them with insulation tape. Protect
the batteries in the packaging in such a way that they do not move inside the packaging during transport. National regulations for
the transport of hazardous goods must also be observed.
PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Caution! Before starting any activities described below, disconnect the power saw from the power supply. Disconnect the
mains-powered power saws from the socket. In the case of the battery-powered power saws, disconnect their battery.
After each use, inspect the condition of the power saw with particular attention to the patency of ventilation openings.
Check the placement of all of the power saw's components. Tighten all loose screw connections, if any. Check the tension and
condition of the chain. If any damage is observed, replace the chain with a new one. It is forbidden to use the power saw with a
damaged chain!
If the chain is too loose, it may fall from the guide bar, which may cause injury to the person operating the power saw. The chain
