NOTE:

 Depending on the conditions of use and the 

ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly 

from the actual capacity.

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.

lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled. The lamp goes 

out approximately 10 seconds after releasing the switch trigger.

NOTE:

 Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of 

the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
