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.
Battery protection system
The cleaner is equipped with the protection system,
which automatically cuts off the output power for its long
service life.
The cleaner stops during operation when the cleaner
and/or battery are placed under the following situation.
This is caused by the activation of protection system
and does not show the cleaner trouble.
• When the cleaner is overloaded:
At this time, release the switch trigger and
remove causes of overload and then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low:
