Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery 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 tempera-
ture at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot bat-
tery 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).

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
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 cartridge. 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 accidentally 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.
NOTE:
• The tool does not work with only one battery cartridge.
Tool/battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection
system.
This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to
extend tool and battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions. In some conditions, the indicators light up.
Overload protection
When the tool is operated in a manner that causes it to
draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically
stops without any indication. In this situation, turn the tool
off and stop the application that caused the tool to
become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection for battery
When the battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically without any indication. The tool does not
start even if pressing the switch button. In this situation,
let the battery cool before turning the tool on again.
NOTE:
• The battery overheat protection works only with a
battery cartridge with a star marking. (Fig. 2)
Overdischarge protection (Fig. 3)
When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the
battery indicator blinks on the applicable battery side. By
further use, the tool stops and the battery indicator lights
up about 10 seconds. In this situation, charge the battery
cartridge.
