Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor 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.
Overloaded:
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.
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.
Indicating the remaining battery capacity
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light up for a few seconds.
