Battery cartridge 2 3 013558 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 cartridge. 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 accidentally 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 tool is equipped with a battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions: • Overloaded: The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this situation, release the switch trigger on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the switch trigger again to restart. If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the switch trigger again. • Low battery voltage: The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge the battery. NOTE: The overheat protection works only with a battery cartridge with a star mark. 1 1. Star marking 012128 Speed adjusting dial 1 1.

Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 5, lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. NOTE: • The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work. • Depending on the type and condition of caulking material, the rod may get clogged when operating with low speed. In that case set the speed adjusting dial higher. 5
