Control Panel (3) (1) (2) (1) LED light Before the use of LED light, always pull the power switch once. Press the LED light button. The light illuminates with very low current, and it does not adversely affect the performance of the tool during use or its battery capacity. CAUTION: • The built-in LED light is designed to illuminate the small work area temporarily. • Do not use it as a substitute for a regular flashlight, since it does not have enough brightness. • LED light turns off when the tool has not been used for 5 minutes. To protect the motor or battery, be sure to note the following when carrying out this operation. • If the motor or battery becomes hot, the protection function will be activated and the motor or battery will stop operating. The overheat warning lamp on the control panel illuminates or flashes when this feature is active. • If the overheating protection feature activates, allow the tool to cool thoroughly (at least 30 minutes). The tool is ready for use when the overheat warning lamp goes out. • Avoid using the tool in a way that causes the overheating protection feature to activate repeatedly. • If the tool is operated continuously under high-load conditions or if it is used in hot-temperature conditions (such as during summer), the over-heating protection feature may activate frequently. • If the tool is used in cold-temperature conditions (such as during winter) or if it is frequently stopped during use, the overheating protection feature may not activate. (3) Battery low warning lamp Caution: DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. (2) Overheat warning lamp Off (normal operation) Illuminated: Overheat (motor) Flashing: Overheat (battery) Indicates operation has been halted due to motor or battery overheating. Off (normal operation) Flashing (No charge) Battery protection feature active Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium ion batteries shortens their service life dramatically. The driver includes a battery protection feature designed to prevent excessive discharging of the battery pack. • The battery protection feature activates immediately before the battery loses its charge, causing the battery low warning lamp to flash. • If you notice the battery low warning lamp flashing, charge the battery pack immediately. - 10 -
