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 tool/battery is operated in a manner that
causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool
automatically stops without any indication. In this sit-
uation, 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
This protection works when the remaining battery
capacity gets low. In this situation, remove the battery
from the tool and charge the battery.
Switch action
CAUTION:
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.
CAUTION:
When not operating the tool,
depress the trigger-lock button from B side to
lock the switch trigger in the OFF position.
To prevent the switch trigger from accidentally pulled,
the trigger-lock button is provided.
To pull the switch trigger, depress the trigger-lock button
from A side.
After use, always press in the trigger-lock button from
B side.
