It may change according to how the electric equip- ment is used and may exceed the specifi ed value in exceptional circumstances. The specifi ed vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools. The specifi ed vibration value can be used for initi- al assessment of a harmful eff ect. Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect wor- king order.

Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Do not overload the appliance.

5.1 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 3a)

Warning! Switch off the universal saw and pull out the bat- tery pack each time before doing any work on the machine and changing the blade. Open the cover (Fig. 3a/Item A) by pressing it to- gether slightly at the front and then swinging it up. Turn the ring (B) on the blade holder (4) as shown in Fig. 3a until the blade (6) lets itself be slipped into the slot of the blade holder (4). When you now let go of the ring (B) again, the ring (B) should return to its starting position. If this fails to happen, try turning the ring (B) by hand into its starting position. Now pull on the blade to check whether it is tightly seated in the holder. Anl_GAA_E_20_Li_OA_SPK7.indb 15Anl_GAA_E_20_Li_OA_SPK7.indb 15 20.10.2016 13:15:4120.10.2016 13:15:41GB

The branch jaw clamp (Fig. 1/Item 5) helps you to guide the equipment when cutting branches. The equipment can be used either with or without the branch jaw clamp. To fi t the branch jaw clamp, press the lock release (Fig. 3b/Item A) and push the branch jaw clamp onto the soleplate from above. Make sure that the two pins (Fig. 3c/Item A) are correctly seated in the related recesses (Fig. 3c/Item B) of the so- leplate. Then check that the branch jaw clamp is securely seated.

5.3 Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 4-5)

1. Remove the battery pack (A) from the handle,

pressing the pushlock button (B) downwards to do so.

2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as

that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (C) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to blink.

3. Push the battery pack onto the battery char-

ger. In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger. If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:

voltage at the power socket

the charger and charging adapter

and the battery pack

to our customer service center.

5.4 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4/Item D)

Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (E). The battery capacity indicator (D) will indicate the charge status of the battery by means of 3 LEDs. All 3 LEDs are lit: The battery is fully charged. 2 or 1 LED(s) are lit: The battery has an adequate remaining charge. 1 LED blinks: The battery is empty, recharge the battery. All LEDs blink: The battery pack has undergone exhaustive di- scharge and is defective. Do not use or charge a defective battery pack.

Switching on: Press the locking button (2) and the On/Off switch (1). Infi nitely variable stroke speed control is possible with the On/Off switch (1). The further you push the switch, the higher the stroke speed. Switching off : Release the locking button (2) and the ON/OFF switch (1) at the same time.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Hazard! Always pull out the battery pack before starting any cleaning work.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

Disconnect the charger from the mains supply. Flashing Off Adapted charging The charger is in gentle charging mode. For safety reasons the charging is performed less quickly and takes more than 1 hour. The reasons can be: - The battery pack has not been used for a very long time or an already fl at battery was further discharged (exhaustive discharge). - The battery pack temperature is outside the ideal range (between 10° C and 45° C). Action: Wait for the charging to be completed; you can still continue to charge the battery pack. Flashing Flashing Fault Charging is no longer possible. The battery pack is defective. Action: Never charge a defective battery pack. Take the battery pack out of the charger. On On Temperature fault The battery pack is too hot (e.g. due to direct sunshine) or too cold (below 0° C). Action: Remove the battery pack and keep it at room temperature (approx. 20° C) for one day . Anl_GAA_E_20_Li_OA_SPK7.indb 18Anl_GAA_E_20_Li_OA_SPK7.indb 18 20.10.2016 13:15:4220.10.2016 13:15:42GB
