Indication lamp with multi function

► 1. Indication lamp
Indication lamps are located in two positions.
When the battery cartridge is inserted on the tool with
the slide switch positioned in the "O (OFF)" position, the
indication lamp flickers quickly for approximately one
second. If it does not flicker so, the battery cartridge or
indication lamp is broken.
— Overload protection
— When the tool is overloaded, the indication
lamp lights up. When the load on the tool is
reduced, the lamp goes out.
— If the tool continues to be overloaded and
the indication lamp continues to light up for
approximately two seconds, the tool stops.
This prevents the motor and its related parts
from being damaged.
— In this case, to start the tool again, move the
slide switch to the "O (OFF)" position once
and then to the "I (ON)" position.
— Battery cartridge replacing signal
— When the remaining battery capacity gets
low, the indicator lamp lights up during oper-
ation signaling that it is time to change the
battery.
— Accidental re-start preventive function
— Even if the battery cartridge is inserted on
the tool with the slide switch in the "I (ON)"
position, the tool does not start. At this time,
the lamp flickers slowly and this shows that
the accidental re-start preventive function is
at work.
— To start the tool, first slide the slide switch
toward the "O (OFF)" position and then slide
it toward the "I (ON)" position.
