• Always switch off the tool before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.
• 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.
(Note: The battery cartridge can be inserted even
while the interlock switch is lowered. Once the
battery cartridge is inserted, the interlock switch
will rise automatically.)
• Do not use force when inserting the battery car-
tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
