Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool
and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
• Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, slide the slide switch on the
tool toward the "O (OFF)" position and stop the
application that caused the tool to become
overloaded. Then slide the slide switch toward
the "I (ON)" position again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before sliding the slide switch toward the

8
"I (ON)" position again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and
the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
