5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
   Do not touch the terminals with any conductive material.

6. Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.

7. 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.

8. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C (122°F).

9. 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.

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 if you do not use it for a long period (more than six months).

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.
• Take care not to trap finger(s) between cleaner and battery as shown in diagram when loading battery. Trapping finger(s) may cause injury. (Fig. 1)
  
  

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 2)

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 (Lithium-ion battery with star marking) (Fig. 3)
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped with a protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the tool 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 trigger switch on the tool and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the trigger switch again to restart. If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the trigger switch 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.

Switch action (Fig. 4)

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.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

Lighting the lamp

For Model DCL180F only

CAUTION:

• Never look into the light directly. Direct light causes damage to your eyes. (Fig. 5)
  

Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. Release the switch trigger to turn off.

Indicating the remaining battery capacity Only for battery cartridges with the indicator (Fig. 6)

Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light up for few seconds.

NOTE:

• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the actual capacity.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.
