Battery protection system
Lithium-ion battery with star marking
► Fig.2: 1. Star marking
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 one of the following
conditions:
Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw
an abnormally high current.
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.
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In
this situation, let the battery cool before turning the tool
on again.
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool
will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge
the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
Only for battery cartridges with the indicator

from the actual capacity.
NOTE: The first (far left) indicator lamp will blink when
the battery protection system works.

Switch action
► Fig.4: 1. Switch trigger
CAUTION:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch
trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
NOTE: The tool automatically stops if you keep pull-
ing the switch trigger for about 6 minutes.
Lighting up the front lamp
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the
source of light directly.
► Fig.5: 1. Lamp
► Fig.6: 1. Button
To turn on the lamp status, press the button
one second. To turn off the lamp status, press the but-
ton for one second again.
With the lamp status ON, pull the switch trigger to turn on
the lamp. To turn off, release it. The lamp goes out approx-
imately 10 seconds after releasing the switch trigger.
With the lamp status OFF, the lamp does not turn on
even if pulling the trigger.
NOTE: To confirm the lamp status, pull the trigger.
When the lamp lights up by pulling the switch trigger,
the lamp status is ON. When the lamp does not come
on, the lamp status is OFF.
NOTE: When the tool is overheated, the light flashes
for one minute, and then the LED display goes off. In
this case, cool down the tool before operating again.
NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
NOTE: While pulling the switch trigger, the lamp
status cannot be changed.
NOTE: For approximately 10 seconds after releasing
the switch trigger, the lamp status can be changed.
Reversing switch action
► Fig.7: 1. Reversing switch lever
CAUTION:
Always check the direction of
rotation before operation.
CAUTION:
Use the reversing switch only after
the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direc-
tion of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
CAUTION:
When not operating the tool, always
set the reversing switch lever to the neutral position.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rota-
tion. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A side for clock-
wise rotation or from the B side for counterclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
