Indicator lamp
► Fig.3: 1. Power-ON indicator lamp (green)
2. Service indicator lamp (red)
The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is plugged. If the indicator lamp does not light up,
the mains cord or the controller may be malfunction.
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 controller, the motor or the ON/OFF
switch may be malfunction.
The red service indicator lamp flickers up when the
carbon brushes are nearly worn out to indicate that the
tool needs servicing. After approx. 8 hours of use, the
motor will automatically be shut off.

► Fig.13
Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly
hold the tool by both side grip and switch handle during
operations. Turn the tool on and apply slight pressure
on the tool so that the tool will not bounce around,
uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on the tool will not
increase the efficiency.

unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
