Bottom picture (2):

The pressure pins are extended by turning the head (1) by 90° to the right (see arrow).

The recesses (1) ensure the special tool automatically locks into the 12 V socket (2).

The tool does not reach the contacts (3) (positive pole of the 12 V socket). The tool can therefore not cause a short-circuit.
