FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
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 sliding the button on the side 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 you can see
the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not
locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part
cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of
the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.

tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
