Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10
°
C – 40
°
C (50
°
F – 104
°
F). Let a hot bat-
tery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4.
Charge the battery cartridge once in every six
months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking
function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
•
Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when
installing or removing battery cartridge.
Failure to
hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause
them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the
tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it
into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper
side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the car-
tridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
Battery protection system (Fig. 2)
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 applica-
tion 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. In this situation, remove and recharge
the battery.
NOTE:
• The overheat protection works only with a battery car-
tridge with a star mark.
Changing the die position (Fig. 3)
The die holder position can be changed 360°. To change
it, proceed as follows.
1. Loosen the lock nut with the wrench provided.
2. Pull the die holder slightly and turn it to the desired
position for operation.
3. Tighten the lock nut to secure the die holder in the
desired position.
There are four positive stops at 90° each: 0°, 90° left and
right and 180°. To position the die to any of these positive
stops:
4. Loosen the lock nut with the wrench provided.
5. Pull the die holder slightly and depress lightly while
turning it to the desired position. The die holder will
lock into one of the positive stop positions as desired.
6. Turn the die holder slightly to make sure that it is posi-
tively locked into position.
7. Tighten the lock nut to secure the die holder.
