Battery protection system (Lithium-ion battery with star marking) 1 1. Star marking 012128 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, slide the slide switch on the tool toward the "O (OFF)" position and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)" position again to restart. If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool before sliding the slide switch toward the "I (ON)" position 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. Overheat protection When the tool is overloaded and the tool temperature reaches a certain level, the tool automatically stops. In this situation, let the tool cool before turning on the tool again. Switch action 1 1. Slide switch CAUTION: • Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the tool is switched off. To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)" position. To stop the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "O (OFF)" position. Adjusting the orbital stroke rate 1. Dial 1 014557 The orbital stroke rate is adjustable. To change the orbital stroke rate, turn the dial between 1 and 6. The higher the number is, the higher the orbital stroke rate is. Preset the dial to the number suitable for your workpiece. NOTE: • The dial cannot be turned directly from 1 to 6 or from 6 to 1. Forcing the dial may damage the tool. When changing the dial direction, always turn the dial moving it through each intermediate number. Indication lamp 1. Indication lamp 1 014558 • When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the indication lamp blinks. • When the remaining battery capacity gets much lower, the tool stops during operation and the indication lamp lights up about 10 seconds. At this time, remove the battery cartridge from the tool and charge it. 014556 6
