cartridge.
• Hold the appliance and the battery
cartridge firmly when installing or removing

To remove the battery cartridge, slide it
from the appliance while sliding the button

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

• Always install the battery cartridge fully
until the red indicator cannot be seen. If
not, it may accidentally fall out of the
appliance, causing injury to you or
someone around you.

If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
Battery protection system
(Lithium-ion battery with star
marking)
1
1. Star marking
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are
equipped with a protection system. This
system automatically cuts off power to the
appliance to extend battery life.
The appliance will automatically stop during
operation if the appliance and/or battery are
placed under one of the following conditions:
• Overloaded:
The appliance is operated in a manner
that causes it to draw an abnormally high
current.
In this situation, switch off the appliance
and stop the application that caused the
appliance to become overloaded. Then
restart the appliance.
If the appliance does not start, the battery
is overheated. In this situation, let the
battery cool before restarting the
appliance.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low
and the appliance will not operate. In this
situation, remove and recharge the
battery.
