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:
Status
On
Overload
Overheat
Over
discharge
Overload protection
If the tool is overloaded by entangled weeds or other
debris, and the middle indicators start blinking and
the tool automatically stops.
In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application
that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn
the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection for tool or
battery
There are two types of overheating; tool overheating
and battery overheating. When the tool over heating
occurs, all speed indicators blink. When the battery over
heating occurs, indicator blinks.
If the overheating occurs, the tool stops automatically.
Let the tool and/or battery cool down before turning the
tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity becomes low, the tool stops
automatically and indicator blinks.
If the tool does not operate even when the switches are
operated, remove the batteries from the tool and charge
the batteries.
