(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or

rain.

A battery short can cause a large current flow,

overheating, possible burns and even a

breakdown.

6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in

locations where the temperature may reach or

exceed 50°C (122°F).

7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is

severely damaged or is completely worn out. The

battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

9. Do not use a damaged battery.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

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 cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room

temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot

battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six

months if you do not use it for a long period of

time.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or

checking function on the tool.

Installing or removing battery cartridge

(Fig. 1)

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. (Fig. 2)

Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 3)

The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the dial. 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.

Overload warning lamp (Fig. 4)

The warning lamp flickers in red when the tool is

overloaded. If the load reaches some point, the lamp

keeps lighting in red and the tool stops. To restart the tool,

release the trigger and pull the trigger again.

NOTE:

Check what causes the overload when the lamp flickers or

lights up. Change the parameter of the speed adjusting

dial lower, or increase the diameter of the nozzle.

Switch action

CAUTION:

• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the switch trigger actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when

released.

• When not operating the tool, push the trigger-lock

button from A side to lock the switch trigger in the OFF

position. (Fig. 5)

To prevent the switch trigger from accidentally pulled, the

trigger-lock button is provided.
