Possible cause
The power plug is not connected
to an AC outlet.
The battery is not properly
connected to the charger.
The battery or charger electrodes
are soiled.
The battery is extremely hot.
The battery or charger is faulty.
The battery is depleted. (The
stroke speed/remaining battery
indicator lamp does not go on.)
The battery has not been properly
installed.
Foreign matter is lodged in the
blade.
The tool has been used for heavy
work.
Remedy
Connect the power plug to an AC
outlet.
Insert the battery so that it is
properly seated in the charger.
Use a cotton swab or other tool to
clean the electrodes.

before charging.
Disconnect the power plug and

When a storage battery with little
power left is not used for an
extended period of time, battery
power may drop so low that it
cannot turn on the battery level
warning lamp. Charge the battery.
Remove the storage battery from
the battery compartment in the tool
and check for foreign matter. Also
check the battery electrodes for
soiling. Make sure that the battery is
pressed in until it clicks into place.
When there is foreign matter in
the blade, remove the battery and
use a pair of tongs or similar tool
to remove it.
Take great care since the tool may
start operating when the foreign
matter has been removed.
Sap or rust may also prevent the
blade from operating. Use a wire
brush or similar tool to remove
sap or rust.
This is the effect of a function that
protects the battery by turning off
the motor when the tool is
exposed to an excessive load.
Release the switch and remove
what caused the excessive load
and pull back the switch to
resume work.
