• To install 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 way until it locks in
place with a little click.

red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally
fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge.
If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.

while pressing the button on the front of the cartridge.
