Battery cartridge
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.
CAUTION: 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, turn the tool off and stop the
application that caused the tool
to become overloaded. Then
turn the tool on to restart.
If the tool does not
start, the battery is
overheated. In this
situation, let the battery cool
before turning the tool on
again.
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is
too low and the tool
will not operate. If you
turn the tool on, the
motor runs again but stops
soon. In this situation, remove
and recharge the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
Only for battery cartridges with the indicator
► Fig.2: 1. Indicator lamps 2.
Check button
Press the check button on
the battery cartridge to indicate
the remaining battery capacity. The
indicator lamps light up for a few seconds.
