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.

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.

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.
