•
Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
•
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the
tool while sliding the button on the front of the
cartridge.
•
To install 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 indicator on the upper side of the button, it is
not locked completely. Install it fully until the red
indicator 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 installing the battery
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.

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.
