FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

WARNING:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or

checking function on the tool. Failure to switch off

and remove the battery cartridge may result in serious

personal injury from accidental start-up.

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, 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 overheated. 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.

Overheat protection

When the tool is overloaded and the tool temperature

reaches a certain level, the tool automatically stops. In

this situation, let the tool cool before turning on the tool

again.

Indicating the remaining battery capacity (Fig. 3)

(Only for battery cartridges with “B” at the end of the

model number.)

Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indi-

cate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps

light up for few seconds.

NOTE:

• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient

temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the

actual capacity.

Switch action (Fig. 4)

CAUTION:

• Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the tool is switched off.

To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the “I (ON)”

position.

To stop the tool, slide the slide switch toward the

“O (OFF)” position.

Adjusting the orbital stroke rate (Fig. 5)

The orbital stroke rate is adjustable. To change the orbital

stroke rate, turn the dial between 1 and 6. The higher the

number is, the higher the orbital stroke rate is. Preset the

dial to the number suitable for your workpiece.

NOTE:

• The dial cannot be turned directly from 1 to 6 or from 6

to 1. Forcing the dial may damage the tool. When

changing the dial direction, always turn the dial moving

it through each intermediate number.

Indication lamp (Fig. 6)

• When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the indi-

cation lamp blinks.

• When the remaining battery capacity gets much lower,

the tool stops during operation and the indication lamp

lights up about 10 seconds.

At this time, remove the battery cartridge from the tool

and charge it.
