NOTICE:
Depending on the usage conditions,
the tool automatically stops without any indica-
tion if the branches or debris are entangled in the
tool. In this case, switch off the tool and remove
the battery cartridge, and then remove entangled
branches or debris using tools such as pliers.
After removing the branches or debris, install the
battery cartridge and turn on the tool again.
Overload protection
If the tool or battery is overloaded by entangled
branches or other debris, the tool automatically stops
and the caution lamp starts blinking in green.
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 for tool or
battery
If the tool or battery cartridge is overheated, the tool
stops automatically. When the tool is overheated, the
caution lamp lights up in red. When the battery cartridge
is overheated, the caution lamp blinks in red. Let the
tool and/or battery cool down before turning the tool on
again.
Overdischarge protection

automatically and the caution lamp starts blinking in red.
If the tool does not operate even when the switches are
operated, remove the battery cartridge from the tool and
charge it.
