NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and the
ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly
from the actual capacity.
NOTE: The first (far left) indicator lamp will blink when
the battery protection system works.
Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off the power to
extend tool and battery life. The tool will automatically
stop during operation if the tool or battery is placed
under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
This protection works when the tool/battery is operated
in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high
current. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the
application that caused the tool to become overloaded.
Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
This protection works when the tool/battery is over-
heated. The lamp blinks and the overheat warning icon
is displayed on the pressure gauge. In this situation,
turn the tool off and let the tool and battery cool down.
Then, turn the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
This protection works when the remaining battery
capacity gets low. In this situation, remove the battery
from the tool and charge the battery.

If the object to be inflated is connected to the tool, the
current pressure value of the object is displayed on the
pressure gauge when you turn on the tool. If nothing is
connected to the tool, the pressure gauge displays "0".
The pressure gauge also displays the target pressure
value, pressure value unit, and inflation mode. They are
the same as the last time.
When you start inflation, the inflation progress indicator
is displayed. The inflation completes when the inflation
progress indicator comes to the right end.
