CAUTION on lithium-ion battery

equips with the protection function to stop the
output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the
motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
but the result of protection function. In this case,
release the switch of tool and eliminate the
causes of overloading.

○ When the switch trigger is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the switch trigger is released, the tool stops.
○ The rotational speed of the rotary hammer can be
controlled by varying the amount that the switch
trigger is pulled. Speed is low when the switch trigger
is pulled slightly and increases as the switch trigger is
pulled more.
○ When releasing the switch trigger, the brake will be
applied for immediate stopping.
