SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 7 Installing or removing battery cartridge *Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge *To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while pressing the buttons on both sides 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 not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as their respective markings on the fast charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it resets on the charger port floor. If the charging light goes out soon, remove the battery cartridge from the charger and let it cool off for more than one minute, Then re-insert it and try to charge it once more. If the charging light goes out within one minute even after repeating this procedure a couple of times, the battery cartridge is dead. When the charging light goes out after about one hour, you may remove the fully charged battery cartridge. *If you try to charge a cartridge from a just-operated tool, sometimes the charging light will not come on. *When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period, it may not accept a full charge.
