Installing or removing battery cartridge
CAUTION:
•
Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
•
Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly
when installing or removing battery cartridge.
Failure to hold the tool and the battery cartridge
firmly may cause them to slip off your hands and
result in damage to the tool and battery cartridge
and a personal injury.
Fig.1
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
installment 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 someone
around you.
•
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, release the switch trigger on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
•
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low
and the tool will not operate. If you pull the
switch trigger, the motor runs again but stops
soon. In this situation, remove and recharge
the battery.
