Indication lamp with multi function

007224
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)", the
indication lamp flickers quickly for approximately one
second. If it does not flicker so, the battery cartridge or
indication lamp may be broken.
− Overload protection
− When the tool becomes 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 situation, move the slide switch to the
"O (OFF)" position once. And then move it to
the "I (ON)" position again to restart.

1. Indication lamp
− Battery cartridge replacing signal
− When the remaining battery capacity is low,
the indicator lamp lights up during operation
earlier than that of high battery capacity.
− 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. In this situation, the lamp
flickers slowly. It indicates 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.
