INSTALLING THE BATTERY

•   Insert the battery into the tool as 

 

shown on the right with the clip  
facing to the side.

•   The battery has two positions in 

 

the tool:

1. The “OFF” position—as shown  

in picture #1 to the right.

2. The “RUN” position—as shown  

in picture #2 to the right.

•   To operate the tool be sure the 

 

battery is fully inserted into the  
tool. After installing the battery,  
note the LED light on the right  
side of the handle.

•   If the light flashes green, the tool 

 

is powered.

•  If the light flashes red, the battery 

requires charging.

•  If the light is solid green and the 

 

fan is running, the tool is ready to  
take the next shot.

•  If the light is solid red and the fan 

 

is not on, the battery needs to be 
recharged.

•   If the tool will not be used for a 

 

short period of time, click the battery 
back into the “OFF” position. This will 
prevent the tool from being fired.
