2. BCV0 protective function
When a product is used continuously at a high load, the motor may stop auto-
matically. This is due to the BCV0's protective function, and is not a malfunction.
If the product does not operate even when the product switches are operated, stop
use, disconnect the product and batteries from the BCV0, and let the BCV0 cool
down.
. Battery protective function
The batteries have an internal protective function that automatically stops power
output in order to extend the battery life. When the following states occur during
product use, the motor stops automatically, but this is due to the battery's protective
function, and is not a malfunction.
When the battery temperature rises above a certain level, the motor stops automati-
cally, and remains stopped even when the switches are operated. In these cases,
stop battery use, remove the batteries from the BCV0, and allow the batteries to
cool or charge the batteries.
When the battery capacity becomes low, the product's motor stops automatically.
If the product does not operate even when the switches are operated, remove the
batteries from the BCV0 and charge the batteries.
4. BCV0 abnormally high voltage detection
When the BCV0 detects an abnormally high battery voltage, the motor stops auto-
matically. This is due to the BCV0's protective function, and is not a malfunction. In
these cases, the motor remains stopped even when the switches are operated.
Remove the batteries from the BCV0, and use different batteries with normal volt-
age.
NOTE:
When the product stops automatically without any BCV03 indication
When the product enters an overload state, power output stops automatically in order
to extend the battery life. This is due to the battery's protective function, and is not a
malfunction. In addition, in these cases the BCV0 does not indicate anything, but this
is not a malfunction. When this happens, release the switch, and remove the cause of
the overload. The product can then be used again by operating the switch again.
