Work Light
Your tool is equipped with work light for
better visibility during operation. When
the tool is turned on, the light turns on.
When the tool is turned off, the light
turns off.
Chip Blower
Your jig saw is equipped with an "always
on" blower to help keep the intended
cut line visible. . When the tool is turned
on, the blower is turned on. When the
tool is turned off, the blower is off.
Protection Against Deep
Discharging
The lithium ion battery is protected
against deep discharging by the
"Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)".
When the battery is empty, the tool is
switched off by means of a protective
circuit.
Temperature-dependent
Overload Protection
In normal conditions of use, the tool
cannot be overloaded. However, if the
power tool is overloaded or not kept
within the
temperature range, the speed is
reduced or the power tool switches off.
If the tool speed is automatically
reduced in such situations, the tool will
run again at full speed once the
permitted battery temperature is
reached or the load is reduced. During
automatic shut-down, switch off the
power tool, allow the battery to cool
down, and then switch the power tool
back on (Fig. 1).
Brake
When the trigger is released it activates
the electrical brake to stop the blade
quickly. This feature is especially useful
when making repetitive cuts.
