Installing or removing battery cartridge
*Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge
*To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw
it from the tool while pressing the buttons
on both sides of the cartridge.
*To insert the battery cartridge, align the
tongue on the battery cartridge with the
groove in the housing and slip it into place.
Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with
a
little click.
If
not, it may acci-
dentally fall out of the tool, causing injury
to you or someone around you.
*Do
not use force when inserting the battery cartridge.
If the cartridge does not slide in easily,
it
is not being inserted correctly.
Charging
Plug the fast charger into your power
source. Insert the battery cartridge
so
that
the plus and minus terminals on the battery
cartridge are on the same sides as their
respective markings on the fast charger.
Insert the cartridge fully into the port
so
that
it
resets on the charger port floor.
The charging light will come on and charg-
ing will begin. If the charging light goes out
soon, remove the battery cartridge from the
charger and let it cool off for more than one
minute, Then re-insert
it
and try to charge it once more. If the charging light goes out with-
in one minute even after repeating this procedure
a
couple of times, the battery cartridge
is dead. Replace
it
with
a
new one.
When the charging light goes out after about one hour, you may remove the fully charged
battery cartridge.
After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.
CAUTION:
*Your new battery cartridge is not charged. You will need to charge it before use.
*If
you try to charge
a
cartridge from
a
just-operated tool, sometimes the charging light will
not come on. If this occurs, let the cartridge cool off for
a
while. Then re-insert it and try
to charge
it
once more.
*When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used
for
a
long period, it may not accept a full charge. This is
a
normal condition and does not
indicate
a
problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging
it
almost
completely
a
couple of times.
*If
you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow
15
minutes between chargings on the
fast charger.
