The declared vibration total value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test
method and may be used for comparing one
tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared total value depending on the ways in
which the tool is used. The need to identify
safety measures and to protect the operator
are based on an estimation of exposure in the
actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle, such as the times
the tool is switched off, when it is running idle,
in addition to trigger time)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Note:
Before using this tool, read the
Instruction manual carefully.
BEFORE USE
A Battery Pack must be inserted into the
tool as described below. It is important that
the battery pack is of the designated type
recommended for this machine. Newly
purchased Battery Packs do not come fully
charged, and should be charged before use.
Note:
Battery power and performance will
improve after several discharge/charging
cycles have been completed.
WARNING:
The battery pack and battery
charger are specially designed to work
together. Do not attempt to use any other
type of charger or battery pack with this
Jigsaw.
1. CHARGING A BATTERY PACK (Fig. 1)
• Position the charger on a work bench
or similar in a well ventilated location and
ensure that the charger cannot be covered
by workshop cloths etc.
• Plug the charger into a suitable power
socket. The green LED will illuminate.
• Slide the Evolution 18V battery pack into the
docking port of the charger. It will only fit in
one way round.

• Firmly slide the battery pack down into the
charger to ensure terminal connection. The
battery locking tabs should positively
engage the charger. The red LED will light
to confirm terminal connection and that the
charging cycle has started.
• When the green LED flashes, the charging
cycle is 90% completed.
• Remove the battery pack from the charger
when the flashing green LED remains
steady, and store the charger safely for
future use. Remove the battery pack by
pressing the two locking tabs on either
side of the pack and slide the pack from the
charger.
CHARGING INDICATOR
This charger is designed to detect problems
that can sometimes arise with rechargeable
battery packs. The status of the two LED’s
can alert the operator to potential problems.
Please refer to the table below.
Note:
If battery pack failure is suspected, we
recommend that the operator inserts a new
battery of known quality into the charger to
check that the charger is working correctly.
If the new battery charges correctly, then
the original battery is probably defective and
should be sent for safe recycling. If the new
battery pack displays the same problems as
the original, have the charger tested by a
qualified person.
WARNING:
When a battery becomes
discharged due to prolonged use or exposure
to direct sunlight or heat, always allow the
battery pack to cool down before recharging.
This will allow the battery to be recharged to
its full capacity.
CHARGING TIMES
Normal charging time is approximately
1 hour but this can vary depending upon
circumstances.
• If the battery pack is only partially discharged
it may take less than an hour to recharge.
• If the battery pack and ambient temperature
are very cold then recharging could take up
1.5 hours.
• If the battery pack is very hot it may not
recharge. Allow it to cool right down before
beginning the charging process.
2. INSTALLING OR
REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
Check that the battery pack is of the
designated type for this machine. We
recommend that the trigger switch is locked
in the ‘OFF’ position when removing or
inserting the Battery Pack. Refer to section
5 below.
• Slide the Battery Pack onto the base of the
tools handle. The Battery can only fit one
way round.
• Firmly slide the Battery Pack fully into the
tools handle to engage the locking tabs. The
electrical connections inside the handle will
be made automatically.
