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. Insert it all the way until it locks in place

with a little click. If you can see the red indicator as

shown in the figure, it is not locked completely.

CAUTION:

Always install the battery cartridge

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.

CAUTION:

Do not install the battery cartridge

forcibly.

If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is

not being inserted correctly.

Tool / battery protection system

The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-

tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the

motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-

matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is

placed under one of the following conditions.

Overload protection

When the tool/battery is operated in a manner that

causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool

automatically stops. In this situation, turn the tool off

and stop the application that caused the tool to become

overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.

Overheat protection

When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops

automatically and the lamp will blink. In this situation, let

the tool cool down before turning the tool on again.
