removing of the battery cartridge.

the tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of
the cartridge.

Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with
a little click. 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
•
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.
Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a battery protection system.
This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to
extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool
and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
Overloaded:
•
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
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 trigger
switch again to restart.
Low battery voltage:
•
The remaining battery capacity is too low and
the tool will not operate. If you pull the switch
trigger, the motor runs again but stops soon.
In this situation, remove and recharge the
battery.
