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 as shown in the figure, 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. Indicating the remaining battery capacity Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light up for a few seconds. 1 2 Tool / battery protection system The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off the power 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 This protection works when the tool/battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. 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 This protection works when the tool/battery is overheated. The lamp blinks and the overheat warning icon is displayed on the pressure gauge. In this situation, turn the tool off and let the tool and battery cool down. Then, turn the tool on again. Overdischarge protection This protection works when the remaining battery capacity gets low. In this situation, remove the battery from the tool and charge the battery. Main power switch ► 1 . Indicator lamps 2.
