CAUTION:
Before using battery adapter, read all instructions
•
on tools using battery.
When charging a battery cartridge, first remove it
•
from the battery adapter and then charge it. It is not
allowed to charge the battery cartridge while using

Installing or removing battery adapter
Always switch off the tool before insertion or
•
removal of the battery adapter.
To remove the battery adapter, withdraw it from the
•
tool while sliding the button on the adapter.
To insert the battery adapter, align the tongue on
•
the battery adapter 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.
Do not use force when inserting the battery adapter.
•
If the adapter does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
The way of removing or installing a battery
•
cartridge from or on the battery adapter is the
same as that of removing or installing it from or on
the tools.
Press down the hook securely as far as it will go
•
