OPERATION
CAUTION:

Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it
locks in place. 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.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the
other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to
control the twisting action.
