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.

and the battery indicator blink about 60 seconds. In this situ-
ation, let the tool cool down before turning the tool on again.
