To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from

the tool while sliding the button on the front of the

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

part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
