 Depending on the conditions of use and the 

ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly 

from the actual capacity.

Machine/battery protection system

The machine is equipped with a machine/battery 

protection system. This system automatically cuts off 

power to the motor to extend machine and battery life. 

The machine will automatically stop during operation if 

the machine or battery is placed under one of the fol-

lowing conditions:

Overload protection

When the machine or battery is operated in a manner 

that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the 

machine automatically stops without any indication. In 

this situation, turn the machine off and stop the appli

-

cation that caused the machine to become overloaded. 

Then turn the machine on to restart.

Overheat protection

When the machine or battery is overheated, the 

machine stops automatically. In this case, let the 

machine and battery cool before turning the machine 

on again.

Overdischarge protection

When the battery capacity is not enough, the machine 

stops automatically. In this case, remove the battery 

from the machine and charge the battery.

Switch action

WARNING:

 

Before installing the battery car-

tridge into the machine, always check to see that 

the switch trigger actuates properly and returns 

to the "OFF" position when released.

tinuously until the battery has become empty, rest 

the machine for at least 15 minutes before operat-

ing the machine with a fresh battery.
