Installing or removing battery cartridge
.Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal
of
the battery cartridge.
.To remove the battery cartridge, pull out
the
set
place on the tool and grasp both
sides of the cartridge while withdrawing
it from the barrel.
To insert the battery cartridge, align the
tongue on
the
battery cartridge
with
the
groove in the housing and slip
it
into
place. Snap the
set
plate back into place.
Be sure to close the set plate fully before
using the tool.
Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge.
If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it i s 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 bat-
tery cartridge are on the same sides as their
respective markings on the fast charger. In-
sert 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 does not
come on, press the reset button. If the
charging light goes out within 10 seconds even after pressing the reset button a couple
of
times, the battery cartridge is dead. (CAUTION
:
Wait for more than 5 seconds after the
charging light goes out to press the reset button again.) 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
i s
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
completely a couple of times.
If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow 15 minutes between chargings on the
fast charger.
