Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when

To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place
with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.

red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.

Make sure all safety systems are in working order
before operation. The tool must not operate if only the
switch trigger is pulled or if only the safety lever is
pressed against the wood. It must work only when both
actions are performed. Test for possible faulty operation
with a tool unloaded and pointed well away from
yourself or any bystanders.
NOTE:
•
There is a possibility that the tool may operate for
an instant when only the trigger is pulled. This
does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, point
the tool well away from yourself or any bystanders.
Release and pull the trigger again to make sure
the safety systems are in working order.
