11. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED BATTERY PACK
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dis-
pose of the battery pack properly. This battery pack
contains nickel-cadmium batteries. Consult your local
waste authority for information regarding available re-
cycling and/or disposal options. Discharge your battery
pack by operating your saw, then remove the battery
pack from the saw 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 CIR-
CULAR SAW
a) If your power tool becomes too hot, run your circular
saw no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speeds.
b) Always use a blade suited to the material and material
thickness to be cut. The quality of cut will improve as the
number of blade teeth increase.
c) Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or
clamped to prevent movement.
d) Support large panels close to the cut line. Any move-
ment of the material may affect the quality of the cut.
e) The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the
uppermost surface or edges of your work piece. When
cutting, ensure your uppermost surface is a non-visible
surface when your work is finished. Feeding too fast sig-
nificantly reduces the performance of the machine and
shortens the life of the saw blade. Always face the good
side of the work-piece down, to ensure minimum splin-
tering. Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type.
