The power tool is equipped with an electronic protec-
tion system to prevent overloading and overheating. The
power tool switches itself off automatically in the event
of overloading and overheating. After releasing the con-
trol switch, the power tool may not restart immediately
when the switch is pressed again (while the power tool is
cooling down).

rotation position.
3. The screw can then be removed.
8.10 Reading the charge status LED display on
Li‑ion batteries 10
NOTE
The charge status cannot be indicated while the power
tool is in operation. If LED 1 blinks, this simply indicates
that the battery is either fully discharged or too hot for
use (temperature above 80°C).
The Li-ion battery features a charge status LED display.
The charge status is indicated by the LEDs on the battery
during charging (please refer to the operating instructions
for the charger). When the battery is at rest (not in use), its
charge status is indicated by the four LEDs on the battery
for three seconds after pressing one of the battery release
buttons.
8.11 Belt hook 11
CAUTION
Check that the belt hook is fitted securely before
beginning work.
The belt hook allows the power tool to be attached to
a belt worn by the operator. The belt hook can also be
fitted to the other side of the power tool for used by
left-handed persons.
1. Pull the battery out of the tool.
2. Fit the mounting plate into the guides provided.
3. Secure the belt hook with the two screws.
8.12 Universal hook
CAUTION
Check that the universal hook is fitted securely. Use
the universal hook only when required. Lay the power
tool down in a secure place when it is no longer in
use.
The universal hook can be used to attach the power tool
to the operator's belt or to other objects when not in use.
The universal hook can be removed from the power tool
if not required. To do this, release the two screws that
secure the universal hook to the power tool.
