Installing/Removing the Battery

The battery powered Carvex jigsaws (PSC 420 EB and PSBC 420 EB) use a removable BPC-series 18V LiIon battery pack for their power. However, if needed, the saw may also be powered using any BPC or BPS series battery from 12 to 18 volts. However, performance may be reduced when using a smaller battery.

WARNING! Do not use any battery clips to hang a jigsaw from your tool belt or waistband. The saw can start unexpectedly, causing serious personal injury. If a battery has the battery clip installed, it is recommended to remove the clip to prevent it from catching on objects during operation.

To install the battery, slide it into the receptacle on the rear of the saw until it clicks into place. To remove the batter, press in on both left and right release buttons, and slide the battery out of the receptacle.

Charging the

Battery

Battery equipped Carvex saws include a TRC 3 intelligent battery charger. This charger may be used to charge any Festool BPC (LiIon) or BPS (NiCd, NiMH) series battery. The charger is microprocessor controlled and will detect the type of battery being charged as well as the condition of the battery.

To charge a battery, slide it onto the battery slot until it is fully seated. The status light will change when the charger detects the presence of the battery (fully seated). The meanings of the status light indications are listed below:

►► Yellow, Steady: Charger is ready, no battery present.

►► Green, Rapid Flash: The battery is being charged at its maximum charging rate.

►► Green, Slow Flash: The battery is approaching full charge and is being charged at a reduced charging rate.

►► Green, Steady: The battery is fully charged.

►► Red, Flashing: General fault indication, such as faulty battery pack or faulty connection to battery.

►► Red, Steady: The battery temperature is too high to safely charge. Charging will commence when the tempera- ture returns to a lower level.

After the battery has been fully charged, the intelligent charger will switch to a maintenance mode to maintain a full charge on the battery. The battery may be left in the charger until needed. However, it is not recommended to leave a battery in the charger for long-term storage.

For infrequently used batteries, overall battery life will be improved if they are stored with a partial charge, and recharged only before needed.
