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, turn the
tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to
become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart. If
the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In this
situation, let the battery cool before turning the tool on
again.
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool
will not operate. If you turn the tool on, the motor runs
again but stops soon. In this situation, remove and
recharge the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery capacity
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to
indicate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator
lamps light up for a few seconds.
