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:

Overload protection

When the battery is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automat-
ically stops without any indication. 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

When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the lamp blinks. 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 tool stops
automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery.

CAUTION:
Do not turn the adjusting dial when
the tool is running. Failure to do so may result in
the loss of control of the tool and cause an injury.
NOTICE:
If the tool is operated continuously at
low speed for a long time, the motor will get over-
loaded, resulting in tool malfunction.
NOTICE:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned
only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past
5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no
longer work.
NOTE: Soft no-load rotation function
When the speed adjusting dial is set to "3" or higher,
the tool automatically reduces the speed at no-load to
reduce the vibration under no-load. Once operation
starts with a bit against concrete, blows per minute
increase and reach the numbers as shown in the
table. When temperature is low and there is less
fluidity in grease, the tool may not have this function
even with the motor rotating.
