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.
CAUTION:
Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.

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 is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the tool/battery is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automat-
ically 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
When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically. Let the tool cool down before turning the
tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery.
Shaft lock
Press the shaft lock to prevent spindle rotation when
installing or removing accessories.

NOTICE:
Never actuate the shaft lock when the
spindle is moving. The tool may be damaged.
Switch action
CAUTION:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch lever actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the switch lever hard without
pulling the lock-off lever. This can cause switch breakage.
CAUTION:
For your safety, this tool is equipped
with lock-off lever which prevents the tool from unin-
tended starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs when
you simply pull the switch trigger without pulling the
lock-off lever. Return the tool to our authorized ser-
vice center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
CAUTION:
NEVER tape down or defeat pur-
pose and function of lock-off lever.
To prevent the switch lever from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off lever is provided.
To start the tool, fold the lock-off lever and then pull the
switch lever.
To stop the tool, release the switch lever.
