Appliance / battery protection
system
The appliance is equipped with an appliance/battery
protection system. This system automatically cuts off
power to the motor to extend appliance and battery life.
The appliance will automatically stop during operation
if the appliance or battery is placed under one of the
following conditions:
Overload protection
When the appliance/battery is operated in a manner
that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the
appliance automatically stops. In this situation, turn the
appliance off and stop the application that caused the
appliance to become overloaded. Then turn the appli-
ance on to restart.
Overheat protection
On
When the appliance is overheated, the appliance stops
automatically, and both left and right battery indicators
blink. In this situation, let the appliance cool down
before turning the appliance on again.
On
When the battery is overheated, the appliance stops
automatically, and one of the indicators for overheated
battery blinks. In this situation, let the battery cool down
before turning the appliance on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity becomes low, the appliance
stops automatically. If the appliance does not run along
with the switch operation, remove the batteries from the
appliance and recharge them.
Protections against other causes
Protection system is also designed for other causes that
could damage the appliance and allows the appliance to
stop automatically. Take all the following steps to clear
the causes, when the appliance has been brought to a
temporary halt or stop in operation.
1. Turn the appliance off, and then turn it on again to
restart.
2. Charge the battery(ies) or replace it/them with
recharged battery(ies).
3. Let the appliance and battery(ies) cool down.
If no improvement can be found by restoring protection
system, then contact your local Makita Service Center.
