When a storage battery with
little power left is not used for an
extended period of time, battery
power may drop so low that it
cannot turn on the battery level
warning lamp. Charge the battery.
Remove the storage battery from
the battery compartment in the
tool and check for foreign matter.
Also check the battery electrodes
for soiling. Make sure that the
battery is pressed in until it clicks
into place.
If the blade does not move but the
motor is turning, the blade has
probably been incorrectly installed.
Make sure that the crank holder
and crank cam has been installed.
When there is foreign matter in
the blade, remove the battery and
use a pair of tongs or similar tool to
remove it.
Take great care since the tool may
start operating when the foreign
matter has been removed.
Sap or rust may also prevent the
blade from operating. Use a wire
brush or similar tool to remove sap
or rust.
This is the eff ect of a function that
protects the battery by turning off
the motor when the tool is exposed
to an excessive load. Release the
switch and remove what caused
the excessive load and pull back
the switch to resume work.
To prevent accidents from incorrect
operation, the Lock Off switch must
be pressed while the switch is
pulled back to start the motor.
