Battery protection system

(Lithium-ion battery with star marking)
1
012128
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool
and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
Overloaded:
•
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, slide the slide switch on the
tool toward the "O (OFF)" position and stop
the application that caused the tool to become
overloaded. Then slide the slide switch toward
the "I (ON)" position again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before sliding the slide switch toward the
"I (ON)" position 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.

The orbital stroke rate is adjustable. To change the orbital
stroke rate, turn the dial between 1 and 6. The higher the
number is, the higher the orbital stroke rate is. Preset the
dial to the number suitable for your workpiece.
NOTE:
The dial cannot be turned directly from 1 to 6 or
•
from 6 to 1. Forcing the dial may damage the tool.
When changing the dial direction, always turn the
dial moving it through each intermediate number.
Lighting up the front lamp
WARNING:
Never look into the light directly. Direct light causes
•
damage to your eyes.

Slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)" position to light
up the front lamp. The lamp keeps on lighting while the
switch is the "I (ON)" position. The light automatically
goes out after pressing the rear of the slide switch, and
then sliding the slide switch toward the "O (OFF)"
position.
Overload protection
When the tool is overloaded and the tool temperature
reaches a certain level, the front lamp blinks and the tool
automatically stops. Remove a cause of overload to
restart.
