Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This
system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend tool
and battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if
the tool or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the battery is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automat-
ically stops without any indication. 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.
Overheat protection
When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the lamp blinks. In this case, let the
tool and battery cool before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops automatically.
In this case, remove the battery from the tool and charge the battery.
Switch action
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.

► 1. Switch trigger 2. Lock button
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch
trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger, push in the lock
button and then release the switch trigger. To stop the tool from
the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.
CAUTION:
Switch can be locked in "ON" posi-
tion for ease of operator comfort during extended
use. Apply caution when locking tool in "ON"
position and maintain firm grasp on tool.
NOTE: Even with the switch on and motor running,
the driver bit does not rotate. Push the tool forward to
engage the clutch.
NOTE: The tool automatically stops if the motor
keeps rotating for about 6 minutes.
Push drive mode
Fig.4
► 1. Button 2. Mode indicator
This tool has push drive mode. In this mode, the tool cuts
off power to the motor to save the battery power at idle.
To select push drive mode, pull the trigger slightly, then release it
and quickly press the button. The mode indicator will then light up.
Once push drive is activated, pull the switch trigger and then
push the lock button. Apply pressure to the driver bit and the
motor will start rotating. Further pressure engages the clutch
and the driver bit will start rotating. In push drive mode, the
motor and the driver bit will only rotate by applying pressure.
NOTE: If the tool does not run for about 8 hours in
push drive mode with the trigger locked on, tool is
shutdown. In such a case, release and pull the trigger
again for restarting.
