Battery protection system (Lithium-ion
battery with star marking) (Fig. 6)
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, release the switch trigger on the tool
and stop the application that caused the tool to
become overloaded. Then pull the switch trigger
again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In
this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the
switch trigger again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool
will not operate. In this situation, remove and
recharge the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery capacity
Only for battery cartridges with the indicator (Fig. 7)
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate
the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light
up for a few seconds.

trigger hard without pressing in the lock-off button.
This can cause switch breakage. Operating a tool
with a switch that does not actuate properly can lead to
loss of control and serious personal injury.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, move the lock-off button forward and pull
the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
