Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the tool/battery is operated in a manner that
causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool
automatically stops without any indication. In this sit-
uation, turn the tool off and stop the application that
caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the
tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically. In this situation, let the tool/battery cool
before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indi-
cate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps
light up for a few seconds.

Adjusting the depth of nailing
WARNING:
Always make sure that your
fingers are not placed on the switch trigger or
the contact element and the battery cartridge is
removed before adjusting the depth of nailing.
Depth of nailing can be adjusted by turning the adjuster
on the tool. A nail drives deeper as you turn the adjuster
in the A direction shown in the figure, and shallower in
the B direction, within a range of up to 2.5 mm.

source of light directly.
Pull the switch trigger or actuate the contact element
to light up the lamp. The lamp remains lit for up to 60
seconds while pulling the switch trigger or actuating
the contact element. The lamp goes out approximately
10 seconds after releasing the switch trigger and the
contact element.

NOTICE:
Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens
of the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp,
or it may lower the illumination.
NOTICE:

tery power residual gets small, nailer may not fire
nails. In this case, charge the battery cartridge.
NOTICE:
When the tool is overheated, the light
flashes. In this case, release the switch trigger and
contact element, and then cool down the tool/battery
before operating again.
NOTICE:

detects an error during driving the nail. In this case,
bring the nailer to a Factory Service Center.
