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, slide the slide switch on the
tool toward the "O (OFF)" position and stop
the application that caused the tool to
become overloaded. Then slide the slide
switch toward the "I (ON)" position again to
restart.
