10. About Remaining Battery Indicator
When pressing the remaining battery indicator
switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights
and the battery remaining power can be checked.
(Fig. 14) When releasing your finger from the
remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining
battery indicator lamp goes off. The Table 6 shows
the state of remaining battery indicator lamp and
the battery remaining power.
As the remaining battery indicator shows
somewhat differently depending on ambient
temperature and battery characteristics, read it as
a reference.
CAUTION
The motor rotation may be locked to cease while
the unit is used as drill. While operating the driver
drill, take care not to lock the motor.
When setting the shift knob to “HIGH” (high
speed) and the position of the clutch dial is “17”
to “22”, it may happen that the clutch does not
engaged and that the motor is locked. In such a
case, please set the shift knob to “LOW” (low
speed).
If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power
off. If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or
battery may be burnt.
Too long hammering may cause the screw broken
due to excessive tightening.
A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is
about to rotate; This is only a noise, not a machine
failure.
