Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
Overloaded:
•
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, stop the application that
caused the tool to become overloaded. Then
press the start/speed adjusting button again
to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before
adjusting button.
Low battery voltage:
•
The remaining battery capacity is too low and
the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
