REACTIVE FORCE CONTROL
This product features a reactive force control (RFC) to
minimize the danger of twisting the operator's arms when
tool itself suddenly jerks during operation.
When the tool bit is suddenly overburdened, the tool itself
may react to the motor's force and twist in the opposite
direction of the motor's rotation, which could result in injury.
(Fig. 18)
When the tool's built-in control detects a reactive force, it
stops the motor's output before the entire tool jerks to lessen
the twisting of the operator's arms.
When this function activates, it will be indicated by the LED
light blinking (0.1-second blinks/off 0.5 seconds) while the
switch is pulled.
(See "LED light warning signals")
However, as the function may not activate depending on
situations or conditions during operation, so care should
be taken to avoid any sudden overburdening of the tool bit
when operating the tool.
● Possible causes of sudden overburdening
Tool bit biting into material
Impact against nails, metal or other hard objects
Tasks involving prying or any excess application of
pressure, etc.
Also, other causes include any combination of the
aforementioned.
● When the reactive force control (RFC) is triggered
When the RFC is triggered and the motor stops, turn
off the tool's switch and remove the cause of the
overburdening before continuing operation.
