►1. Star marking
Lithium-ionbatterieswithastarmarkingareequipped
withaprotectionsystem.Thissystemautomatically
cutsoffpowertothetooltoextendbatterylife.
Thetoolwillautomaticallystopduringoperationifthetooland/
orbatteryareplacedunderoneofthefollowingconditions:
• Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
ittodrawanabnormallyhighcurrent.
In this situation, slide the slide switch on the
tool toward the "O (OFF)" position and stop
the application that caused the tool to become
overloaded. Then slide the slide switch toward
the "I (ON)" position again to restart.
Ifthetooldoesnotstart,thebatteryisover-
heated.Inthissituation,letthebatterycool
before sliding the slide switch toward the "I
(ON)" position again.
• Lowbatteryvoltage:
Theremainingbatterycapacityistoolow
and the tool will not operate. In this situation,
removeandrechargethebattery.
