1.3. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
REGARDING DIRECT MAINS POWER USE WITH THE BATTERY CHARGER ONLY.

WARNING! It is the users responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following electrical instructions:
You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit
Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all
electrical products, particularly portable equipment which is plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.3.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on a business premises, to be tested by
a qualified electrician at least once a year by using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.3.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance,
and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.3.3. You must ensure that you:
3Inspect the charger, cable and plug for wear and damage to ensure items are safe before connecting to the mains power supply. If worn or
damaged DO NOT use, immediately replace, or contact a qualified electrician.
3Check cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.2. BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
pWARNING! Battery contains nickel-cadmium which is dangerous and must be handled with care to avoid damage, fire, corrosion or personal injury.
3Charge battery prior to its first use. The battery pack will have been shipped in a low charge state.
3Use only the charger provided to charge the saw battery.
7DO NOT charge battery when room temperature is below 50OF (10OC) or above 104OF (40OC).
7DO NOT attempt recharging the battery by means of an engine generator or a DC power source.
7DO NOT short-circuit the battery by linking both terminals with a metal object, or your fingers etc.
7DO NOT store the battery (or saw) in locations where the temperature may exceed 104OF (40OC) such as outside sheds, above heaters,
or metal buildings in summer.
pWARNING! Dispose of spent batteries correctly as they contain nickel-cadmium. DANGER! DO NOT attempt to disassemble the battery pack.
For safety and environmental reasons DO NOT discard in domestic waste or by burning. ONLY discard or recycle according to local waste authority regulations.
pWARNING! DO NOT allow a leaking battery to contact your person. If you come into contact with battery liquid take the following immediate action:
p a) Skin contact: Wash immediately with soap and water, then wash flesh in either lemon juice or vinegar.
p b) Eye contact: Wash with a strong solution of boric acid, and seek immediate medical attention.

Remove jig saw, charger, blade and key from packaging and inspect. If any item is damaged or missing contact your supplier.
Note: When new, the battery will have been shipped in a low charge state. It will take longer to charge the battery initially and several subsequent
charges may also take a little longer than when the battery reaches its optimum performance.
3.1. Charging the battery pack.
In the interest of long battery life, recharge the NiCd battery promptly. Recharging is always necessary when the power of the jig saw starts to decrease. Never
allow the battery to discharge completely as this will cause a defect in the battery.
3.1.1. To remove the battery pack from the saw, depress the two side clips (fig.1 item A). Do not touch the metal battery terminals.
3.1.2. Place saw in the case and remove the battery charger.
3.1.3. Stand the charger on a safe flat surface and connect to the mains.
3.1.4. The battery is designed to fit into the charger one way only. This is to ensure that the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities correspond.
Align the + and - polarity marks on the base of the battery with the + and - marks on the charger, insert the battery and press very
slightly downward to seat the battery firmly into the charging base (fig.2).
pWARNING! DO NOT try to force battery into the base with crossed polarities.
3.1.5. The red charge light will come on when the battery is inserted into the charger. Under normal conditions a flat battery will take 1 hour to fully
charge at which point the green light will come on. The temperature of the battery may rise slightly during the charging operation. This is normal.
Note: There is no automatic switch-off when the battery is fully charged - turn off charger/remove battery to prevent battery damage from over-charging.
3.1.6. If the battery fails to charge, check:
1) Whether there is voltage at the socket outlet.
2) Whether there is good, clean contact between the charger and battery terminals.
3.1.7. Remove the battery from the charger and both lights will go out. Switch off and unplug the charger. Push the battery into the saw base
until it snaps into place. The saw is now ready for use.
3.1.8. Place the charger back in the carry case.
Note: Attempting to charge a battery immediately after use may result in the red charging light not coming on. If so, allow the battery to cool
and try again.

1.4. BATTERY CHARGER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
pWARNING! DO NOT use the charger to charge any battery other than that supplied for the saw. Other types of batteries may explode!
3All mains electrical supply safety features must be followed as described in 1.3. above.
3Disconnect the charger from mains power supply when not in use.
3Store the charger in the same manner as battery, see para. 1.2.
7DO NOT expose the charger to damp or wet conditions. The charger is for indoor use only.
7DO NOT operate the charger if it has been dropped, or has received a sharp knock, or is damaged. Contact an authorised service agent.
7DO NOT dismantle the charger as this may cause damage or personal injury and will invalidate your warranty.
7DO NOT attempt to connect two chargers together.
7DO NOT insert foreign objects or material into the hole reserved for the battery.
7DO NOT force the battery into the charger. The battery will only fit one way to ensure correct polarity alignment.
7DO NOT immediately charge a second battery. Consecutive charging will overheat the charger. Allow the unit to cool for 15 minutes before
charging the next battery.
CP9912VJ - 0064 - (1) - 040699
3Important: Check that the voltage marked on the charger is the same as the power supply to be used.

3.2. Blade fitting
Note: Always ensure that battery is removed from saw before fitting or removing the blade.
3.2.1. Loosen clamp screw (1) with hex. key provided.
3.2.2. With cutting teeth facing forward and back of blade against guide roller, slide blade into
blade holder (2) as far as possible - approx. 10mm. - and tighten clamp screw.
3.3. Sawing
Note: The jig saw has a safety lock-off device to prevent the saw from being switched on accidentally.
3.3.1. To start the jig saw, press and hold the red safety lock-off button (A) and then squeeze the On trigger switch (B).
The saw will start. Release the lock-off button. Note: There is a safety button on each side of the hand grip to
allow right or left handed use.
3.3.2. To stop the saw release the On switch, which will be automatically locked-off for safety.
3.3.3. With the jig saw switched off, place the rest plate of the saw against the work piece, with the blade
either at the edge or through a starter hole. Switch on the saw and commence cutting.
3.3.4. When the cutting power starts to decrease, re-charge the saw battery to prevent complete discharge.
pWARNING! The trigger switch and the lock-off switches are not to be removed or tampered with, e.g. by tying down the
trigger switch to the handle, or the saw will not switch off automatically, or will not lock-off, and there will be a high risk of injury.
Important! Wear safety goggles and a mask to prevent eye injury and dust inhalation.
