Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly

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

accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you. 

• 

Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
