Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the battery is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automat-
ically stops without any indication. 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.
Overheat protection
When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the lamp blinks. In this case, let the
tool and battery cool before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery.
Switch action
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.

Mode indicator
This tool has push drive mode. In this mode, the tool
cuts off power to the motor to save the battery power
at idle.
To select push drive mode, pull the trigger slightly, then
release it and quickly press the button. The mode indi-
cator will then light up.
Once push drive is activated, pull the switch trigger and
then push the lock button. Apply pressure to the driver
bit and the motor will start rotating. Further pressure
engages the clutch and the driver bit will start rotating.
In push drive mode, the motor and the driver bit will only
rotate by applying pressure.
