tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using bat-
tery.

tery cartridge cool down before charging it.

• To remove the battery cartridge, raise the interlock
switch and withdraw it from the tool while sliding the
button on the front of the cartridge. (Note: Battery
cartridge cannot be removed without raising the
interlock switch.)
• 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.
• Lower the interlock switch after insertion of battery
cartridge. Even if the switch trigger is pulled with
the interlock switch raised, the tool does not start.
