Overheat Warning Lamp (2)
Off
(normal operation)
The overheating protection feature halts tool operation
to protect the battery pack in the event of overheat-
ing. The overheat warning lamp on the control panel
flashes when this feature is active.
• If the overheating protection feature activates, allow
the tool to cool thoroughly (at least 30 minutes).
The tool is ready for use when the overheat warning
lamp goes out.
• Avoid using the tool in a way that causes the over-
heating protection feature to activate repeatedly.
• If the tool is operated continuously under high-load
conditions or if it is used in hot-temperature condi-
tions (such as during summer), the overheating
protection feature may activate frequently.
Battery Low Warning Lamp (3)
Off
(normal operation)
Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium-ion
batteries shortens their service life dramatically. The
tool includes a battery protection feature designed to
prevent excessive discharging of the battery pack.
The battery protection feature activates immediately
before the battery loses its charge, causing the battery
low warning lamp to flash.
If you notice the battery low warning lamp flashing,
charge the battery pack immediately.
