When bucking on a slope, always stand on the
uphill side of the log. When “cutting through”,
release the cutting pressure near the end of
the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain
saw handles in order to maintain complete
control. Don’t let the chain contact the
ground. After completing the cut, wait for the
saw chain to stop before you move the chain
saw. Always stop the chain saw motor before
moving from tree to tree.
Battery Charge-control Indication
(see figure B)
The battery 17 is equipped with a charge-con-
trol indicator 20 which indicates its charge
condition. The charge-control indicator 20
consists of 3 green LEDs.
Press the button 19 to actuate the charge-
control indicator 20. After approx. 5 seconds,
the charge-control indicator goes out auto-
matically.
The charge condition can also be checked
when the battery is removed.
When no LED lights up after actuating the but-
ton 19, the battery is defective and must be
replaced.
For safety reasons, the charge condition of
the battery can only be checked when the
power tool is at a standstill.
During the charging procedure, the three
green LEDs light up one after the other and
briefly go out. The battery is fully charged
when the three green LEDs light up continu-
ously. The three LEDs go out again approx.
5 minutes after the battery has been fully
charged.
Temperature Control Indicator
The red LED of the temperature control indi-
cator 21 signals that the battery or the elec-
tronics of the power tool (when the battery is
inserted) are not within the optimum temper-
ature range. In this case, the power tool will
not operate at full capacity.
Temperature Control of the Battery
The red LED 21 flashes when pushing button
19 or pressing the On/Off switch 3 (when the
battery is inserted): The battery is not wihin
the temperature range for operation of
–10 °C to +60 °C.
The battery switches off at a temperature
above 70 °C until the optimum temperature
range is reached again.
Temperature control of the power tool elec-
tronics
The red LED 21 lights up continuously when
pressing the On/Off switch 3: The tempera-
ture of the machine’s electronics is below
5 °C or above 75 °C.
At a temperature above 90 °C , the electron-
ics of the power tool switch off until the tem-
perature is within the allowable temperature
range again.

The following chart lists problem symptoms, possible causes and corrective action, if your pow-
er tool does not operate properly. If these do not identify and correct the problem, contact your
