*Always switch off the tool before insertion
or removal of the battery cartridge.
*To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw
it from the tool while pressing the buttons
on both sides of the cartridge.
*To insert 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. If not, it may acci-
dentally 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.

You will need to charge it before use. Use
the high capacity battery charger Model

the proper A.C. voltage source. The charg-
ing light will flash in green color.

and minus terminals on the battery car-
tridge are
on
the same sides
as
their
respective markings on the high capacity

battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port
floor.
*When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to
red and charging will begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily during charging.
*When the charging light color changes from red to green, the charging cycle is complete
and the charger will switch into its "trickle charge (maintenance charge)" mode. The

does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging
it completely and recharging a couple of times.
