► 1. Red indicator 2. Button 3. Battery cartridge
CAUTION:
•
Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
•
Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly
when installing or removing battery car-
tridge. Failure to hold the tool and the battery
cartridge firmly may cause them to slip off your
hands and result in damage to the tool and
battery cartridge and a personal injury.
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. 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.
CAUTION:
•
Always install the battery cartridge fully until the
red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may acci-
dentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you
or someone around you.
•
Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Checking the remaining battery
capacity (BL1460A)

► 1. Indicator lamps 2. Check button
NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and the
ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly
from the actual capacity.
When charging
When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicating lamp
3
begins to flicker. Then, as charging proceeds, the other lamps
light, one after the other, to indicate the battery capacity.
NOTE: If the indicator lamp does not turn on or flicker
when charging, the battery may be faulty. In this case,
ask your local service center.
When using
When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light to
indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is
switched off, the light goes out after approx. 5 seconds.
When pushing the check button with the tool switched
off, the indicator lamps turn on for approx. 5 seconds to
show battery capacity.
If the orange lamp flickers, the tool stops because of little
remaining battery capacity (Auto-stop mechanism). Charge the
battery cartridge or use a charged battery cartridge at this time.
When the tool is used with the battery that has not been
used for a long time and is switched on, no lamps may
light up. The tool stops because of little remaining bat-
tery capacity at this time. Charge the battery properly.
Battery protection system (BL1460A)
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 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 switch trigger on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is over-
heated. In this situation, let the battery cool
before pulling the switch trigger again.
