(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 indenitely. 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

charging indicator glowing indenitely. 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 charging 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). Ret 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 rell 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.
