OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the
cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on

it locks in place with a little click. 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.
