Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly

when installing or removing battery car-

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, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the
cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, hold it so that the battery
cartridge front shape fits to that of the battery install-
ment opening and slip it into place. Insert it all the way
until it locks in place with a little click.
CAUTION:
•
Always insert the battery cartridge all the way
until it locks in place. If not, it may accidentally
fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or some-
one around you.
•
Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
