Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-

perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.

• Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the
tool while sliding the button on the front of the
cartridge.
• To install 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 indicator on the upper side of
the button, it is not locked completely. Install it fully
until the red indicator 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 installing the battery car-
tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
