Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
4.
it for a long period (more than six months).

• Always switch off the cleaner before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from
the cleaner while sliding the button on the front of
the cartridge as shown in the figure.
• 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 upper 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 cleaner, 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.
