FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the appli-
ance is switched off and the battery cartridge is
removed before adjusting or checking function on
the appliance.
Appliance / battery protection
system
The appliance is equipped with an appliance/battery
protection system. This system automatically cuts off
power to the motor to extend appliance and battery life.
The appliance will automatically stop during operation
if the appliance or battery is placed under one of the
following conditions:
Overload protection
When the appliance is operated in a manner that
causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the
appliance automatically stops. In this situation, turn the
appliance off and stop the application that caused the
appliance to become overloaded. Then turn the appli-
ance on to restart.
Overheat protection
On
When the appliance is overheated, the appliance stops
automatically, and the battery indicator blinks about 60
seconds. In this situation, let the appliance cool down
before turning the appliance on again.
Overdischarge protection
On
When the battery capacity becomes low, the appliance
stops automatically, and the battery indicator blinks
about 60 seconds. If the product does not operate even
when the switches are operated, remove the battery
from the appliance and charge the battery.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indi-
cate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps
light up for a few seconds.
