Global Machinery Company TRM18V Fitting and removing the battery pack, Battery charging

You have purchased a 18V heavy duty saw capable of taking the effort out of many sawing tasks in both wood and metal. It is robust and extremely versatile.

By changing between the three saw blades provided, it is possible to use the saw on a wide variety of materials and in many tasks around the home or workshop.

Fitting and removing the battery pack

To remove the battery pack from the drill firmly press the battery release buttons (8) at either side of the battery pack, and slide the battery backward out of the tool.

To install the battery pack, align rails, on the tool with the tabs on the battery pack and

slide the battery pack on to the saw. Ensure the battery pack is sitting straight on the foot and correctly entering the runners. The battery should slide fully on to the saw until the battery pack “clicks” into position.

Battery charging

The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low charge condition. You should charge the battery pack fully before use.

Warning. Do not use an extension cord.

1.Connect the adaptor charger (9) lead to the battery charger (7).

2.Insert the battery charger (7) into the battery pack (6) and connect the adaptor charger (9) to a suitable power socket.

3.The battery charge time is approx. 3–5 hours, after which the battery pack should be removed. A good indication for a fully charged battery is the temperature of the battery, which becomes fairly warm as the battery becomes fully charged.

4.After normal use, 3 hours of charging time is required for the battery pack to be fully charged. However, 4–5 hours charging will ensure a longer run time of your tool.

5.Do not charge batteries for “top up”. Batteries should be placed on charge only when the battery is noticeably running down or the tool no longer performs a task it previously performed.

6.Unplug the adaptor charger and charging slide when not in use and store them in a dry, secure place.

7.Do not charge your battery pack in temperatures below 0°C or above 40°C.

8.Always remove the battery pack and store it in a dry, secure place when the tool is not in use.

9.Battery charging should only be carried out indoors.

Warning. Never leave a battery on charge once it starts to warm up.

Do not charge the battery for more than 8 hours, as this will damage the battery cells.

If two batteries are to be charged in succession, unplug the adaptor charger and let it cool down for about 15 minutes before using it for the second battery.

Warning. Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options of a damaged or worn out battery pack.

To obtain the best life for the battery

Never allow the tool to come to a complete stand still before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the tool no longer performs a task it previously performed.

Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the battery is fully charged every time by allowing the charger to complete its full charging cycle.

Avoid allowing lose items like screws or nails etc to be stored with battery packs as these or similar items can short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.

Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in a dry secure place.
