battery will attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging temperature is approximately 24 °C.
To charge the battery, insert the charger plug (6) into the charging socket (3).
Plug in the charger (7) and switch on at the mains. Leave the tool connected to the charger for
Generally, a charging time of 6 hours will enable the tool to operate at an effective power level for most tasks. However, further charging for up to 8 hours could significantly increase the run time, depending on the battery and the charging conditions.
Before using the tool, unplug the charger (7) and disconnect the tool from the charger.
Do not use the tool while it is connected to the charger.

Charging the battery (fig. B)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily done before. When charging the battery for the first time, or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge. After several charge and discharge cycles, the
Sawing (fig. D)
Hold the tool firmly with both hands while cutting.
The shoe (1) should be held firmly against the material being cut. This will help to prevent the saw from jumping, reduce vibration and minimise blade breakage.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing the cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
Because the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
Use a
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through this sandwich.
Sawing Metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
