Battery protection system
The cleaner is equipped with the protection system, which
automatically cuts off the output power for its long service life.
The cleaner stops during operation when the cleaner
and/or battery are placed under the following situation.
This is caused by the activation of protection system
and does not show the cleaner trouble.
• When the cleaner is overloaded:
At this time, press the "OFF" button and
remove causes of overload and then press
the "HIGH/LOW" button again to restart.
• When battery cells get hot: (refer to the note below.)
If any operation of the "HIGH/LOW" button
and the "OFF" button, the motor will remain
stopped. At this time, stop use of the cleaner
and cool or charge the battery cartridge after
removing it from the cleaner.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low:
If any operation of the "HIGH/LOW" button
and the "OFF" button, the motor will remain
stopped. At this time, remove the battery
cartridge from the cleaner and charge it.
NOTE:
• This temperature-sensitive protection is applied
only when the cleaner is used with a battery
cartridge with a star mark.
