NOTE: You can use the tool in the Torque Boost mode up to 60 seconds. Depending on the usage conditions, this mode shifts to the normal mode in less than 60 seconds. NOTE: If the mode indicator blinks in green when you press the main power switch for a few seconds, the Torque Boost mode is not available. In this case, follow the steps below. • The Torque Boost mode is not available right after the cutting operation. Wait for more than 10 seconds, and then press the main power switch for a few seconds again. • If you use the Torque Boost mode several times, the use of the Torque Boost mode is restricted to protect the battery. If the Torque Boost mode is not available after waiting for more than 10 seconds, replace the battery cartridge with a fully charged one, or recharge the battery cartridge. NOTE: If the main power lamp lights up in red or blinks in red or green, refer to the instructions for tool/battery protection system. Switch action WARNING: For your safety, this tool is equipped with lock-off lever which prevents the tool from unintended starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs when you simply pull the switch trigger without pressing the lock-off lever. Return the tool to our authorized service center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage. WARNING: NEVER tape down or defeat purpose and function of lock-off lever. CAUTION: Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, depress the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger.
