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.
