Overload Protection; Overheat Protection; Overdischarge Protection - Makita DUP361 Instruction Manual

Tool / 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. In some
conditions, the lamps on the switch box lights up.

Overload protection

When the tool is operated in a manner that causes it to
draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically
stops without any indication. 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.

Overheat protection

When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automati-
cally, and the green lamp on the switch box blinks. In
this situation, let the tool cool down before turning the
tool on again.

Overdischarge protection

When the battery capacity becomes low, the tool stops
automatically. And the red lamp on the switch box lights
up or blinks. If the product does not operate even when
the switches are operated, remove the batteries from
the battery holder and charge the batteries.
