012128 

Lithium-ion  batteries  with  a  star  marking  are  equipped 
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts 
off power to the tool 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, release the trigger switch on 
the tool and stop the application that caused 
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the 
trigger switch again to restart. 
If  the  tool  does  not  start,  the  battery  is 
overheated.  In  this  situation,  let  the  battery 
cool before pulling the trigger switch 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.
