Indicator lamp
► Fig.3: 1. Indicator lamp
The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is plugged to the mains. If the indicator lamp is lit
but the tool does not start even if the tool is switched
ON, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the motor
or the switch may be defective. If the indicator lamp
does not light up, the mains cord or the indicator lamp
may be defective. When the mains cord is defective, the
tool neither starts nor lights the indicator lamp. When
the indicator lamp is defective, the tool starts without
the indicator lamp lighting up.
