exceed 50°C (122°F).

7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged.

Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-

tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-

ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a hot bat-

tery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six

months if you do not use it for a long period of

time.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking

function on the tool.

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

CAUTION:

• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing

of the battery cartridge.

• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when

installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to

hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause

them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the

tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.

To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool

while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.

To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the

battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it

into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a

little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper

side of the button, it is not locked completely.

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.

• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the car-

tridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted

correctly.

Battery protection system (Lithium-ion battery

with star marking) (Fig. 2)

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, stop the application that caused the

tool to become overloaded. Then press the start/speed

adjusting button again to restart.

If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In

this situation, let the battery cool before pressing the

start/speed adjusting button.

• Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool

will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge

the battery.

Switch action and speed adjusting button (Fig. 3)

To start the tool, press the start/speed adjusting button.

The tool starts with high speed mode. Each time you

press the start/speed adjusting button, the speed mode

changes in an order of hi speed, middle speed, and low

speed.

To stop the tool, press the stop button.

Refer to the table for the relationship between the speed

mode and the kind of work.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work

on the tool.

Installing abrasive disc (Fig. 4)

To install the abrasive disc, first remove all dirt or foreign

matter from the pad. Then attach the abrasive disc to the

pad. Be careful to align the holes in the abrasive disc with

those in the pad.

Installing dust bag (optional accessory) (Fig. 5)

Install the dust bag on the tool with its mouth directing

downwards.

Emptying dust bag (Fig. 6 & 7)

When the dust bag is about half full, switch off the tool,

and remove the dust bag from the tool. Then remove the

dust nozzle from the dust bag after unlocking the dust

nozzle by turning it slightly counterclockwise. Empty the

dust bag by tapping it lightly.

After emptying the dust bag, install the dust nozzle on the

dust bag. Turn the dust nozzle slightly clockwise to lock it
