•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 lower 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 car-

tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is

not being inserted correctly.
