Service indicator lamp (red)
The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is plugged. If the indicator lamp does not light up,
the mains cord or the controller may be malfunction.
The indicator lamp is lit but the tool does not start even
if the tool is switched on, the carbon brushes may be
worn out, or the controller, the motor or the ON/OFF
switch may be malfunction.
The red service indicator lamp flickers up when the
carbon brushes are nearly worn out to indicate that the
tool needs servicing. After approx. 8 hours of use, the
motor will automatically be shut off.
