Battery cartridge
•
Always switch off the tool before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.
•
To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from
the tool while sliding the button on the front of the
cartridge.
•
To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue
on the battery cartridge with the groove in the
housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all
the way until it locks in place with a little click. If
you can see the red part on the upper side of the
button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully
until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
•
Do not use force when inserting the battery car-
tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.

NOTE:
Depending on the conditions of use and the
ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly
from the actual capacity.
When charging
When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicating
lamp begins to flicker. Then, as charging proceeds, the
other lamps light, one after the other, to indicate the
battery capacity.
NOTE:
If the indicator lamp does not turn on or flicker
when charging, the battery may be faulty. In this case,
ask your local service center.
When using
When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light to
indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is
switched off, the light goes out after approx. 5 seconds.
When pushing the check button with the tool switched
off, the indicator lamps turn on for approx. 5 seconds to
show battery capacity.
If the orange lamp flickers, the tool stops because of
little remaining battery capacity (Auto-stop mechanism).
Charge the battery cartridge or use a charged battery
cartridge at this time.
When the tool is used with the battery that has not been
used for a long time and is switched on, no lamps may
light up. The tool stops because of little remaining bat-
tery capacity at this time. Charge the battery properly.

CAUTION:
•
Always check the direction of rotation before
operation.

Use the reversing switch only after the tool
comes to a complete stop. Changing the direc-
tion of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
•
When not operating the tool, always set the
reversing switch lever to the neutral position.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the
A side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for coun-
terclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
