Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. 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.
4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).

• 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

housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all
the way until it locks in place with a little click. If

not being inserted correctly.
