• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery
cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while pressing
the buttons on both sides of the cartridge.
• 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
2 way until it locks in place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall

ting action. The orbital cutting action thrusts the blade forward on the cutting
stroke and greatly increases cutting speed.
