FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Switch action (Fig. 3)
To switch on the battery, press the ON/OFF switch button ( 9 ). To
switch off the battery, press the switch button again.
Battery protection system
The battery is equipped with a protection system. This system
automatically cuts off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool automatically stops during operation when the battery is
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, turn the tool off, remove the adapter from
the tool, and then stop the application that caused the tool to
become overloaded.
Then attach the adapter and turn the tool on to restart.
Overheated:
When the battery is overheated, the power is cut off
automatically. The tool does not operate even it is switched on.
In this situation, stop using the battery, remove the adapter from
the tool, and then cool down the battery.
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool does not
operate. In this situation, remove the adapter from the tool and
recharge the battery.
The charging does not start when battery protection system
works because the battery is too hot or cold. The charging
resumes when the battery’s temperature returns to normal.
Checking the remaining battery capacity (Fig. 4)
Press the check button ( 10 ) to indicate the remaining battery
capacity.
The indicator lamp ( 11 ) then lights up for approx three seconds.

system is working.
The battery may have
malfunctioned.
Note:
When only the lowermost indicator lamp blinks, or when none
of the indicator lamps light, the battery capacity has run out and
the tool does not operate. In these cases, charge the battery.
When two or more indicator lamps do not light even after
charging is complete, the battery has reached the end of its
service life.

The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual level during
use or immediately after using the tool.
Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient
temperature, the remaining battery capacity may not be
displayed correctly.
ASSEMBLY
Installing or removing the battery to the harness
Place the battery on a flat surface when installing or removing the
battery.
To install the battery (Fig. 5)
Align the holes of the harness with the holes of the battery. And
then tighten them with six bolts.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the battery sits on the harness stably after
installation.
To remove the battery
Remove six bolts and then remove the battery.
Adjusting the harness (Fig. 6, 7 & 8)
