Overload Protection; Overdischarge Protection; Remaining Battery Capacity Indication - Makita XBU02 Instruction Manual

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 automatically stop during operation if the
tool or battery is placed under one of the following con-
ditions. In some conditions, the indicators light up.

Overload protection

When the tool is operated in a manner that causes it to
draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically
stops without any indication. In this situation, turn the
tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to
become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection for tool

When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automat-
ically, the battery indicator blink about 60 seconds. In
this situation, let the tool cool down before turning the
tool on again.

Overdischarge protection

When the battery capacity becomes low, the tool stops
automatically. If the product does not operate even
when the switches are operated, remove the batteries
from the tool and charge the batteries.
