Re-insert the battery (4).
u
If the charging indicators continues flashing red at a fast
u
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
u
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
u
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
services centre.
Note: It may take as long as 30 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one
flash at each speed and repeat.

Variable speed control (fig. H)

LED work light
The LED work light (5) is activated automatically when the tool
is switched on.
Low-battery Indicator
If the LED worklight (5) begins to rapidly and continuously
flash when the switch on the tool is depressed, the battery-
pack power has run out, and the battery pack should
be recharged.
Unlike other battery pack types, Lithium-Ion battery packs
deliver fade-free power for their entire run time. The tool will
not experience a slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To
signal that the battery pack is at the end of its run time and
needs to be charged, the power to the tool will drop quickly.
Note: The LED may also flash due to an overload or high
temperature (see Battery Protection).
Hints for optimum use
Always hold the tool securely. For precision work, hold the
u
tool near the front.
Clamp the workpiece whenever possible, especially when
u
using cutting blades.
Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
