cartridge
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place
with a little click. If you can see the red indicator as
shown in the figure, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
Always install the battery cartridge
fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
CAUTION:
Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions:
► Fig.17: 1. Indication lamp

Overload protection

If the tool gets into one of the following situation, the tool
automatically stops and the indication lamp lights up:
— The tool is overloaded by entangled weeds or
other debris.
— The cutting tool is locked.
In this situation, release the switch trigger and remove
entangled weeds or debris if necessary. After that, pull
the switch trigger again to resume.
CAUTION:
If you need to remove the entan-
gled weeds on the tool or release the locked
cutting tool, be sure to turn the tool off before you
start.

Overheat protection

When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops auto-
matically and the indication lamp lights up. In this case, let
the tool and battery cool before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the indication
lamp blinks. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery cartridge, or change the
battery cartridge to fully charged one.
NOTE: When the battery capacity runs out, the tool
stops and indication lamp lights up.
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.
