battery  cartridge  when  you  notice  less  tool 
power. 

2. 

Never  recharge  a  fully  charged  battery 
cartridge. 
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

CAUTION: 

• 

Always  switch  off  the  tool  before  installing  or 
removing of the battery cartridge. 

• 

Hold  the  tool  and  the  battery  cartridge  firmly 
when  installing  or  removing  battery  cartridge.

 

Failure  to  hold  the  tool  and  the  battery  cartridge 
firmly  may  cause  them  to  slip  off  your  hands  and 
result  in  damage  to  the  tool  and  battery  cartridge 
and a personal injury. 

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 on the 
upper side of the button, 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. 

• 

Do  not  install  the  battery  cartridge  forcibly.  If  the 
cartridge  does  not  slide  in  easily,  it  is  not  being 
inserted correctly. 

Battery protection system 

The  tool  is  equipped  with  a  battery  protection  system. 
This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to 
extend battery life. 
The  tool  will  automatically  stop  during  operation  if  the 
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following 
conditions: 

• 

Overloaded: 

The tool is operated in a manner that causes 
it to draw an abnormally high current. 
In this situation, release the switch trigger on 
the tool and stop the application that caused 
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the 
switch trigger again to restart. 
If  the  tool  does  not  start,  the  battery  is 
overheated.  In  this  situation,  let  the  battery 
cool before pulling the switch trigger again. 

• 

Low battery voltage: 

The  remaining  battery  capacity  is  too  low 
and  the  tool  will  not  operate.  If  you  pull  the 
switch trigger, the motor runs again but stops 
soon. In this situation, remove and recharge 
the battery. 

Switch action 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, 
always  check  to  see  that  the  switch  trigger 
actuates  properly  and  returns  to  the  "OFF" 
position when released.
