Applications
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:
0
Straight line cutting
action
For cutting mild
steel, stainless
steel and plastics.
Overload protection
For clean cuts in
wood and plywood.
I
Small orbital
cutting action
For cutting mild
steel, aluminum
and hard wood.
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.
II
Medium orbital
cutting action
For cutting wood
and plywood.
Overheat protection
For fast cutting in
aluminum and mild
steel.
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.
III
Large orbital
cutting action
For fast cutting in
wood and plywood.
Overdischarge protection
Switch action
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery.
Protections against other causes
CAUTION: Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the “OFF” position when released.
Protection system is also designed for other causes
that could damage the tool and allows the tool to stop
automatically. Take all the following steps to clear the
causes, when the tool has been brought to a temporary
halt or stop in operation.
1.
Turn the tool off, and then turn it on again to
restart.
2.
Charge the battery(ies) or replace it/them with
recharged battery(ies).
3.
Let the tool and battery(ies) cool down.
To turn on the tool, press the lock switch. The tool turns
into the standby mode. To start the tool, pull the switch
trigger in the standby mode. Tool speed is increased by
increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
To stop the tool, release the switch trigger. The tool
turns into the standby mode. To turn off the tool, press
the lock switch in the standby mode.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger in the
standby mode, and then push in the lock on button.
To stop the tool, pull the switch trigger fully, and then
release it.
If no improvement can be found by restoring protection
system, then contact your local Makita Service Center.
