(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain.

A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a break-down.

1. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50^irc C ( 122^irc F).
2. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

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 temperature at 10^irc C – 40^irc C ( 50^irc F – 104^irc F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

• Always switch off the tool before installing or removal of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while sliding the button on the front 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 you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally 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.

Battery protection system

The battery cartridge is equipped with the protection system, which automatically cuts off the output power for its long service life.

The tool may stop during operation when the tool and/or battery are placed under the following situation. This is caused by the activation of protection system and does not show the tool trouble.

At this time, press the "OFF" button and remove causes of overload and then press the "HIGH/LOW" button again to restart. When the tool does not work even after pressing the "HIGH/LOW" button, the battery power auto-stop is still at work. Charge the battery cartridge before use.

- When the remaining battery capacity becomes low: Recharge the battery cartridge.

Switch action (Fig. 2)

To start the tool, simply press the "HIGH/LOW" button. To switch off, press the "OFF" button. To change the tool speed, press the "HIGH/LOW" button. The first press on this button is for high speed and the second press for low speed and then each press on this button repeats the high/low speed cycle alternatively.
