Fitting A Saw Blade; Switching On/Off - Westfalia ASSG 18 Originalbetriebsanleitung

 Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after
use, and is stored correctly.
 Do not leave batteries on the charger for extended periods and
never store batteries on the charger.
 The battery charger 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 maximum performance
of the reciprocating saw will slightly reduce. This decline will contin-
ue until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles.
This is normal and not an indicator of a faulty battery pack.

Fitting a Saw Blade

Turn the saw blade locking collar (3) all the way to the left and slide a
suitable saw blade into the saw blade mount (2). Release the retaining
ring and it should snap back into the old position and lock the blade in
place.
