DESCRIPTION
Installing or removing battery
cartridge
CAUTION:
Always switch off the machine and
lock the brake lever before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
CAUTION:
Always install the battery cartridge
fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the machine, causing
injury to you or someone around you.
CAUTION:
Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
CAUTION:
Do not use the high-temperature
battery cartridge. When the high-temperature bat-
tery cartridge is used, the machine stops automati-
cally before a short beep sound is emitted, and may
cause an injury.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to pinch your fin-
gers when opening or closing the battery cover.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the cover of the battery
box is closed securely before use. Otherwise, mud,
dirt, or water may cause damage to the product or the

Machine / battery protection system
The machine is equipped with a machine/battery
protection system. This system automatically cuts off
power to the motor to extend machine and battery life.
The machine will automatically stop during operation
if the machine or battery cartridge is under one of the
following conditions.
A short beep sound or long beep sound is emitted
before the machine stops automatically. The battery
indicators and lamps on the control panel blink while the
beep sound is emitted.
NOTE: To cancel the beep sound, release the switch
trigger and pull the brake lever.
Overload protection
When the machine/battery is operated in a manner
that causes it to draw an abnormally high current,
the machine automatically stops and the main power
lamp blinks in green. In this situation, turn the machine
off and stop the application that caused the machine
to become overloaded such as reducing the loaded
objects. Then turn the machine on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the machine is overheated, the machine stops
automatically and the main power lamp lights up in red.
In this case, let the machine and battery cool before
turning the machine on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the main
power lamp and the corresponding battery indicator
blink in red. In this case, switch the battery cartridges,
or change the battery cartridges to fully charged ones,
or remove the battery cartridges from the machine and
charge them.
NOTE: The main power lamp blinks in red when the
battery is overheated.
Protections against other causes
NOTICE:
The main power lamp blinks in green
and red alternately when the abnormality occurs
in the machine. In this case, refer to the section
for troubleshooting.
Protection system is also designed for other causes that
could damage the machine and allows the machine to
stop automatically. Take all the following steps to clear
the causes, when the machine has been brought to a
temporary halt or stop in operation.
1. Turn the machine 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 machine and battery(ies) cool down.
NOTICE:
If no improvement can be found or
the machine stops due to a cause not described
above, refer to the section for troubleshooting.
