Overload Protection; Overheat Protection - Makita PT001GZ01 Betriebsanleitung

Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. 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 conditions:

Overload protection

When the tool/battery is operated in a manner that causes it to
draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically stops. 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

When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically. In this situation, let the tool/battery cool
before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery.
Protections against other causes
Protection system is also designed for other causes that could
damage the tool and allows the tool to stop automatically.
Take all the following steps to clear the causes, when the tool
has been brought to a temporary halt or stop in operation.
1. Turn the tool off, and then turn it on again to restart.
2. Charge the battery(ies) or replace it/them with
recharged battery(ies).
3. Let the tool and battery(ies) cool down.
If no improvement can be found by restoring protection
system, then contact your local Makita Service Center.

on the tool. A pin nail drives deeper as you turn the
adjuster in the A direction shown in the figure, and shal-
lower in the B direction, within a range of up to 1.5 mm.

while pulling the switch trigger or actuating the contact ele-
ment. The lamp goes out approximately 10 seconds after

remains lit. In this case, charge the battery cartridge.
NOTICE:
When the tool is overheated, the lamp
flashes. In this case, release the switch trigger
and contact element, and then cool down the tool/
battery before operating again.
