Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are
equipped with a protection system. This
system automatically cuts off power to the
tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during
operation if the tool and/or battery are
placed under
conditions:
Overloaded:
•
The tool is operated in a manner
that causes
abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the trigger
switch on the tool and stop the
application that caused the tool to
become overloaded. Then pull the
trigger switch again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery
is overheated. In this situation, let
the battery cool before pulling the
trigger switch again.
Low battery voltage:
•
The remaining battery capacity is
too low and the tool will not operate.
In this
recharge the battery.
