16. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED BATTERY
PACK
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose
of the battery pack properly. This battery pack contains
nickel-cadmium batteries. Consult your local waste au-
thority for information regarding available recycling
and/or disposal options. Discharge your battery pack by
operating your drill, then remove the battery pack from
the drill housing and cover the battery pack connections
with heavy duty adhesive tape to prevent short circuit
and energy discharge. Do not attempt to open or remove
any of the components.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR JIG-
SAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, set the speed to
maximum and run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and material
thickness to be cut. Always ensure the work–piece is
firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. For easier
control, use low speed to start cutting, then increase to
correct speed.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of
12
the cut. The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may
chip the uppermost surface. Ensure your uppermost sur-
face is a non-visible surface when your work is finished.
CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most laminates and
thin wood materials. To reduce edge chipping, clamp
pieces of waste wood at both ends and on both sides
and cut through the wood during cutting.
CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight cir-
cles or angles.
POCKET CUTTING (SOFT MATERIALS ONLY)
To cut material out, either drill a hole large enough to in-
sert the jig saw blade or proceed as follows. Clearly mark
the area to be cut. Position the jigsaw over the marked
area with the rounded front edge of the base plate rest-
ing on the surface. Ensure the blade is not touching but
is close to the work surface. Switch the jigsaw on and
gently swing the blade down into the material but main-
