1. Important information
m
Read the directions for use carefully and observe the
information provided. It is important to consult these
instructions in order to acquaint yourself with the tool,
its proper use and safety precautions.
Important! For safety reasons the cordless
jigsaw is not to be used by children, young
people under 16 years of age, or any other
persons who are not acquainted with these
directions for use.
The replaceable storage battery supplied with
the tool is not charged. Before the tool can be
used for the first time you must charge the
battery.
The battery pack does not reach its maximum
capacitance until it has been charged and
discharged approximately five times.
NC batteries lose their charge even when they
are not being used. Regular charging is therefore
recommended. Capacity losses can be
compensated by using a timer to top-up the
charge for 30 minutes every day.
Please check the data marked on the rating plate
of the battery charger. Connect the battery
charger only to an identical mains supply to that
on the rating plate.
In heavy use the battery will become warm.
Allow it to cool to room temperature before
commencing with the charging.
Do not bring the battery pack into contact with
fire or water.
Do not use a defective or deformed battery pack.
Do not open the battery pack!
Do not short-circuit the contacts of the battery

pack.
Used and defective batteries do not belong in the
refuse bin. Think of the environment - cadmium is
toxic. For proper disposal of used and defective
batteries, send them postage-paid to Einhell or take
them to a special collecting station in your area. Ask
at your local council offices for the nearest used
battery collecting station.
