Overload Protection
The power cutter is fitted with an overload/overheat protection device. When the tool is
forced to work at an excessive load, the protection device will be activated automatically
to disconnect the power supply. If this occurs, switch off the tool and switch on again to
resume the work, make sure to apply only suitable workload to the tool. When the tool
works under heavy load for a long period of time, the temperature of the tool or battery
pack will increase significantly. The protection device will be activated at a preset temperature
to protect both the tool and the battery. If this occurs, switch off the tool and wait until it
cools down to ambient temperature and resume work.
Note: when the voltage of battery pack is dropped to 7.5V, the protection device will also be
activated. In this case, remove the battery pack and fully charge it before reuse.
WARNING: Improper use of the battery or battery charger can lead to serious injury.
To avoid these injuries:
A) NEVER disassemble the battery.
B) NEVER incinerate the battery, even if it is damaged or is completely worn out. The battery
can explode in a fire.

to the battery charger may result.
E) NEVER charge outdoors. Keep the battery away from direct sunlight and use only where
there is low humidity and good ventilation.
F) NEVER charge when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
G) NEVER connect two battery chargers together.
H) NEVER insert foreign objects into the hole for the battery or the battery charger.
I) NEVER use a booster transformer when charging.
J) NEVER use an engine generator or DC power to charge.
K) NEVER store the battery or battery charger in places where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104°F (40°C).
L) ALWAYS operate charger on standard household electrical power (230 volts). Using the
charger on any other voltage may overheat and damage the charger.
M) ALWAYS wait at least 15 minutes between charges to avoid overheating the charger.
N) ALWAYS disconnect the power cord from its receptacle when the charger is not in use.
