Tool / battery protection system

The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys

-

tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the 

motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto

-

matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is 

placed under one of the following conditions:

Overload protection

When the tool/battery is operated in a manner that 

causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool 

automatically stops without any indication. In this sit-

uation, turn the tool off and stop the application that 

caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the 

tool on to restart.

Overheat protection

When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops 

automatically. In this situation, let the tool/battery cool 

before turning the tool on again.

Overdischarge protection

When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops 

automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the 

tool and charge the battery.

NOTE:

 Overheat protection (for battery) will work only 

with batteries with star marking.

NOTE:

 The tool automatically stops if you keep pull

consistently fails to quickly stop after the switch trigger 

is released, have the tool serviced at a Makita service 

center.
