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

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.

•
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.

it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the trigger switch on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the

If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before pulling the trigger switch again.
