NOTE: The first (far left) indicator lamp will blink when
the battery protection system works.
Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys -
tem. This system automatically cuts off the power to
extend tool and battery life. The tool will automatically
stop during operation if the tool or battery is placed
under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
This protection works when the tool is operated in a
manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high cur -
rent. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the appli -
cation 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.
To prevent the switch trigger from accidentally pulled,
the trigger-lock button is provided.
To start the tool, turn the trigger-lock lever in the direc-
tion of “B” and pull the switch trigger.
Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
After use, always turn the trigger-lock lever in the direc -
tion of “A”.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the
