Battery 1
Battery protective function
The batteries have an internal protective function that automatically stops power output in order to extend the battery
life. When the following states occur during product use, the motor stops automatically, but this is due to the battery's
protective function, and is not a malfunction.
When the battery temperature rises above a certain level, the motor stops automatically, and remains stopped even
when the switches are operated. In these cases, stop battery use, remove the batteries from the BAP182, and allow
the batteries to cool or charge the batteries.
When the battery capacity becomes low, the product's motor stops automatically. If the product does not operate even
when the switches are operated, remove the batteries from the BAP182 and charge the batteries.
NOTE:
When the product stops automatically without any BAP182 indication
When the product enters an overload state, power output stops automatically in order to extend the battery life. This
is due to the battery's protective function, and is not a malfunction. In addition, in these cases the BAP182 does not
indicate anything, but this is not a malfunction. When this happens, release the switch, and remove the cause of the
overload. The product can then be used again by operating the switch again.
