Before Use
Removing the Battery
To remove the Battery (11), press the Battery Release (13) and slide the
Battery out of the Battery Mount (12) (Fig. I (a-b))
Installing a charged Battery
1.
To fit a charged Battery (11), slide it into the Battery Mount
(12) (Fig. I (c))
Note: The Battery will fit only in one direction, which is determined by its
shape and the design of the Battery Mount. However, if the Battery does
not slide into the Battery Mount easily, do not force it. Instead, pull the
Battery out of the Battery Mount again, check for correct position, and try
again gently.
2.
Push the Battery into the Battery Mount until it locks into
place securely
Setting up the Charger
1.
If fitted, remove the Battery (11) from the Battery Charger
(14) (Fig. II (b))
2.
Connect the Battery Charger to the mains power supply
Note: The Green LED (16 on the Battery Charger will illuminate to indicate
that the Charger is powered.
WARNING: The Battery Charger is designed for indoor use only and
must not be exposed to moisture and rain.
Charging the Battery
WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging the
Battery (11) will result in permanent damage.
Note: Normal charging time is 1 hour for a recently fully-discharged battery,
but if the Battery has been left in a discharged state for some time, it may
take extended time to charge.
1.
Slide a discharged or partially discharged Battery onto the
Battery Charger (14) (Fig. II (a))
Note: Make sure the Battery and Battery Charger are lined up
correctly. If the Battery does not slide onto the Battery Charger
easily, don't force it. Instead, remove the Battery, then check that
the top of the Battery and the Battery Charger slot are clean and
undamaged and that the Charger Terminals (15) are not bent.
2.
Once charging commences, only the Red LED (17) will
illuminate
Note: If the Red LED is not constantly illuminated after an
uncharged Battery is inserted into the Charger, the Battery or
Charger may be faulty. Recheck the Battery is fully inserted in the
Battery Charger. If the fault persists do not use and contact your
authorised Silverline distributer.
3.
When the Battery is fully-charged, only the Green LED (16)
will be illuminated
Battery Charge Level
The Battery has a built-in Battery Charge Indicator (10). Pressing on the
button to the right will indicate the charge level. The number of bars that
illuminate when the button is pressed indicate the charge level; 1 bar
indicating a low charge, 3 bars indicating a full charge.
IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated, be aware the tool may
stop operating while in use. This may be dangerous. It is recommended to
always ensure the Battery has a good charge level.
Notes about battery charging
IMPORTANT: Batteries are an expendable supply whose capacity shortens
over time. Always adhere to the correct handling and charging instructions
in the manual. If the battery does not hold charge or working time is
shortened, purchase a genuine Silverline replacement.
•
The Battery (11) should be charged at ambient
temperatures between 10°C and 40°C (ideally around 20°C)
•
After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool
before use
•
Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains
supply after use, and is stored correctly
•
Do not leave batteries on charge for extended periods and
never store batteries on charge
•
The Battery Charger (14) monitors battery temperature and
voltage while charging. Remove the Battery once charging
has been completed to maximise charge cycles of the
battery and not waste power
•
Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in
the battery can fail, and the battery could short. The
charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another
battery, if possible, to check correct functionality of the
charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty
battery is indicated
•
Do not store Lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged state
long term. This can damage the Lithium-ion cells. For long-
term storage, store batteries in a high charge state
disconnected from the power tool
•
The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100
charge cycles, the battery's operation time and the
performance will slightly reduce. This decline will continue
until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge
cycles. This is normal and not a fault with the battery pack
Fitting a Saw Blade
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure that the tool is switched OFF and the
battery removed, before fitting or removing saw blades.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable cut-proof gloves when handling saw
blades.
WARNING: Blades can become hot during use. If replacing a blunt
blade, allow to cool before handling.
WARNING: DO NOT continue to use blunt, warped or otherwise
damaged saw blades.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use the correct blade type for the material to be cut
(refer to the blade manufacturer's guidelines before use)
Note: The Blade (1) can be installed with the teeth facing either way.
