Battery Pack Removal And Preparation For Recycling - Craftsman 138.98946 Operator's Manual

For Lithium-ion batteries:
[] Craftsman 40 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize
battery life. Under some operating conditions, these built-in
features may cause the battery and the toot it is powering
to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
[] During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, and cause the toot to stop
running. To reset the battery and toot, place the power
switch in the OFF position; then start the unit and resume
normal operation.
[] If placing the power switch in the OFF position does not
reset the battery and toot, the battery pack is depleted.If
depleted, the battery pack will begin charging when placed
on the lithium-ion charger.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND
PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING
See figure 24-28.
_. WARNING: Upon removal, cover the bat-
tery pack's terminals with heavy-duty ad-
hesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble battery pack or remove any
of its components. Lithium-ion and nickel-
cadmium batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly. Also, never touch both
terminals with metal objects and/or body
parts as short circuit may result. Keep away
from children. Failure to comply with these
warnings could result in fire and/or serious
injury
REPLACING BAR AND CHAIN
WARNING: Remove the battery pack from
the chain saw and make sure the chain has
stopped before you do any work or mak-
ing any adjustments on the saw. Failure to
do so may result in accidental starting and
possible serious injury.
_IL WARNING: The safety instructions in this
section are to protect the user from serious
personal injury.
_IL WARNING: Always wear gloves when han-
dling the bar and chain; these components
are sharp and may contain burrs.
,_ WARNING: Never touch or adjust the
chain while the motor is running. The saw
chain is very sharp; always wear protective
gloves when performing maintenance to the
chain to avoid possible serious lacerations.
[] Remove the battery pack before you do any
work on the chain saw.
[] Remove the hex key from the storage area
and use it to remove the chain cover screw,
washer and chain cover from the chain saw.
[] Remove the bar and chain from the mounting
surface.
[] Remove the old chain from the bar.
[] Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and
straighten any kinks. The cutters should face
in the direction of chain rotation. If they face
the opposite direction, turn the loop over.
[] Place the chain drive links into the bar groove.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the
back of the bar. Hold the chain in position on
the bar and place the loop around the sprock-
et of the chain saw. Fit the bar flush against
the mounting surface so that the bar stud is in
the long slot of the bar.
