CAUTION:
Always install the battery cartridge fully until the
•
red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
NOTE:
Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
•
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Battery protection system
Lithium-ion batteries 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, release the switch trigger on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before pulling the switch trigger again.

Indicator by battery/motor protection system
The battery cartridge and tool are provided with
protection devices that will automatically reduce or cut
off power to the tool when overload situations develop
that may cause damage to the tool or battery cartridge.
If the tool becomes overloaded but not locked up a
protector is provided to reduce the revolutions to protect
the motor. In this case the two indicator lamps described
in the table below do not light or blink.
All other protection functions can be identified by the
indicator lamps described in the table below.
