Lock-Off Lever - Makita DUR365U Instruction Manual

Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. 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 con-
ditions. In some conditions, the indicators light up.
Overload protection
On
If the tool is overloaded by entangled weeds or other debris, the
tool stops automatically, and all of the speed indicators blink. 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 for tool
On
When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automatically, and all of
the speed indicators and the battery indicator blink about 60 seconds.
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 automati-
cally. If the tool does not operate even when the switches are oper-
ated, remove the batteries from the tool and charge the batteries.
