Indicating the remaining battery capacity
Only for battery cartridges with the indicator (Fig. 3)
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate
the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light
up for a few seconds.
Indicator lamps
Lighted Off
NOTE:
• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient
temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the
actual capacity.
Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 4)
The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the dial. Higher
speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction
of number 5, lower speed is obtained when it is turned in
the direction of number 1.
NOTE:
• 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.
• Depending on the type and conditions of caulking
material, it may not be fed at low speed. In this case,
set the speed adjusting dial higher.
Overload warning lamp (Fig. 5)
The warning lamp flickers in red when the tool is
overloaded. If the load reaches some point, the lamp
keeps lighting in red and the tool stops. To restart the tool,
release the trigger and pull the trigger again.
NOTE:
Check what causes the overload when the lamp flickers or
lights up. Change the parameter of the speed adjusting
dial lower, or increase the diameter of the nozzle.

CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.

directly. (Fig. 7)
Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp
keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.
The lamp goes out approximately 10 seconds after the
switch trigger is released.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower
the illumination.
• When the tool is overheated, the lamp flickers. Cool
down the tool fully before operating again.
Drip preventive function
The motor keeps running for a short time even after the
trigger is released. It releases the pressure of the caulking
material and prevents dripping.

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
