Indicating the remaining battery capacity Only for battery cartridges with the indicator Tool / battery protection system The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend tool and battery life.

In this case, switch off the tool and remove the battery cartridge, and then remove entangled branches or debris using tools such as pliers. After removing the branches or debris, install the battery cartridge and turn on the tool again. Overheat protection for tool or battery There are two types of overheating; tool overheating and battery overheating. When the tool over heating occurs, all speed indicators blink.
