Makita XDG01T Instruction Manual page 7

Overloaded:
•
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
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.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before turning the tool on again.
Low battery voltage:
•
The remaining battery capacity is too low and
the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
NOTE:
The overheat protection works only with a battery
cartridge with a star mark.

CAUTION:
Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool,
•
always check to see that the slide switch actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
the rear of the slide switch is depressed.
Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of
•
operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking tool in "ON" position and
maintain firm grasp on tool.
To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)"

Indication lamps are located in two positions.
When the battery cartridge is inserted on the tool with
the slide switch positioned in the "O (OFF)" position, the
indication lamp flickers quickly for approximately one
second. If it does not flicker so, the battery cartridge or
indication lamp is broken.
− Overload protection
− When the tool is overloaded, the indication
lamp lights up. When the load on the tool is
reduced, the lamp goes out.
− If the tool continues to be overloaded and the
indication lamp continues to light up for
approximately two seconds, the tool stops.
This prevents the motor and its related parts
from being damaged.
− In this case, to start the tool again, move the
slide switch to the "O (OFF)" position once
and then to the "I (ON)" position.
− Battery cartridge replacing signal
− When the remaining battery capacity gets low,
the indicator lamp lights up during operation
signaling that it is time to change the battery.
− Accidental re-start preventive function
− Even if the battery cartridge is inserted on the
tool with the slide switch in the "I (ON)"
position, the tool does not start. At this time,
the lamp flickers slowly and this shows that
the accidental re-start preventive function is
at work.
− To start the tool, first slide the slide switch
toward the "O (OFF)" position and then slide
it toward the "I (ON)" position.
