Overloaded:
•
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the switch trigger on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before pulling the switch trigger 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.

The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the dial.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 5, lower speed is obtained when it is
turned in the direction of number 1.
NOTE:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far
•
as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or
the speed adjusting function may no longer work.
Depending on the type and condition of caulking
•
material, the rod may get clogged when operating
with low speed. In that case set the speed
adjusting dial higher.
