Battery protection system (Battery cartridge with
a star mark) (Fig. 2)
The battery cartridge with a star mark is equipped with
the protection system, which automatically cuts off the
output power for its long service life.
The tool stops during operation when the tool and/or bat-
tery are placed under the following situation. This is
caused by the activation of protection system and does
not show the tool trouble.
• When the tool is overloaded:
At this time, release the switch trigger, remove the bat-
tery cartridge and remove causes of overload and then
pull the switch trigger again to restart.
• When battery cells get hot:
If any operation of the switch trigger, the motor will
remain stopped.
At this time, stop use of the tool and cool or charge the
battery cartridge after removing it from the tool.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low:
If any operation of the switch trigger, the motor will
remain stopped.
At this time, remove the battery cartridge from the tool
and charge it.
