Battery protection system
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 application
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. If you turn the tool on, the motor runs
again but stops soon. In this situation, remove and
recharge the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
Only for battery cartridges with "B" at the end of the
model number

Switch action
CAUTION:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
tool is switched off.

Adjusting the orbital stroke rate
►

Dial
The orbital stroke rate is adjustable. To change the
orbital stroke rate, turn the dial between 1 and 5. The
higher the number is, the higher the orbital stroke
rate is. Preset the dial to the number suitable for your
workpiece.
NOTE:
The dial cannot be turned directly from 1 to 5
or from 5 to 1. Forcing the dial may damage the tool.
When changing the dial direction, always turn the dial
moving it through each intermediate number.
Lighting up the front lamp
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the
source of light directly.
►

Front lamp
Slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)" position to
light up the front lamp. The lamp keeps on lighting while
the switch is the "I (ON)" position.
The light automatically goes out after pressing the rear
of the slide switch, and then sliding the slide switch
toward the "O (OFF)" position.
Overload protection
When the tool is overloaded and temperature of the tool or the
battery cartridge reaches a certain level, the front lamp blinks
and the tool automatically stops. Remove a cause of overload,
and cool down the tool and the battery cartridge to restart.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing application
tool
Optional accessory
WARNING:
Do not install application tool
upside down.
Installing application tool upside down
may damage the tool and cause serious personal injury.
NOTE:
Install application tool in the correct direc-
tion according to your work.
Application tool can be
installed at an angle of every 30 degree.
To Install an application tool (optional accessory), put
the application tool on the tool flange so that the protru
-
sions of the tool flange fit in the holes in the application
tool. Then secure the application tool by tightening the
bolt firmly with the hex wrench.
