Switch action
007217
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
•
always check to see that the slide switch actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when the
rear of the slide switch is depressed.
Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of
•
operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking tool in "ON" position and
maintain firm grasp on tool.
To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)"
position. For continuous operation, press the front of the
slide switch to lock it.
To stop the tool, press the rear of the slide switch, then
slide it toward the "O (OFF)" position.

1. Indication lamp
When the battery cartridge is inserted on the tool with the
slide switch positioned in the "O (OFF)" position, the
indication lamp flickers quickly for approximately one
second. If it does not flicker so, the battery cartridge or
indication lamp has broken.
− Overload protection
− When the tool is overloaded, the indication
lamp lights up. When the load on the tool is
reduced, the lamp goes out.
− If the tool continues to be overloaded and the
indication lamp continues to light up for
approximately two seconds, the tool stops.
This prevents the motor and its related parts
from being damaged.
− In this case, to start the tool again, move the
slide switch to the "O (OFF)" position once
and then to the "I (ON)" position.
− Battery cartridge replacing signal
− When the remaining battery capacity gets
small, the indicator lamp lights up during
operation earlier than enough capacity battery
use.
− Accidental re-start preventive function
− Even if the battery cartridge is inserted on the
tool with the slide switch in the "I (ON)"
position, the tool does not start. At this time,
the lamp flickers slowly and this shows that
the accidental re-start preventive function is at
work.
− To start the tool, first slide the slide switch
toward the "O (OFF)" position and then slide it
toward the "I (ON)" position.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
