Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a battery protection system This
system automatically cuts off power to the motor 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, turn the tool off and stop the
application that caused the tool to become
overloaded Then turn the tool on to restart
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated In
this situation, let the battery cool before turning the
tool on 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
NOTE:
The overheat protection works only with a battery
cartridge with a star mark (Fig. 2)
Indication lamp with multi function
(Fig. 3)
Indication lamps are located in two positions
When the battery cartridge is inserted on the tool with the
slide switch positioned in the “O (OFF)” position, the
indication lamp flickers quickly for approximately one
second If it does not flicker so, the battery cartridge or
indication lamp has broken
- Overload protection
- When the tool is overloaded, the indication lamp
lights up When the load on the tool is reduced, the
lamp goes out
- If the tool continues to be overloaded and the
indication lamp continues to light up for
approximately two seconds, the tool stops This
prevents the motor and its related parts from being
damaged
- In this case, to start the tool again, move the slide
switch to the “O (OFF)” position once and then to the
“I (ON)” position
- Battery cartridge replacing signal
- When the remaining battery capacity gets small, the
indicator lamp lights up during operation earlier than
enough capacity battery use
- Accidental re-start preventive function
- Even if the battery cartridge is inserted on the tool
with the slide switch in the “I (ON)” position, the tool
does not start At this time, the lamp flickers slowly
and this shows that the accidental re-start
preventive function is at work
- To start the tool, first slide the slide switch toward
the “O (OFF)” position and then slide it toward the “I
(ON)” position
