the speed adjusting function may no longer work.

NOTE:
Blows at no load per minute becomes smaller than
those on load in order to reduce vibration under no
load, but this does not show trouble. Once
operation starts with a bit against concrete, blows
per minute increase and get to the numbers as
shown in the table. When temperature is low and
there is less fluidity in grease, the tool may not
have this function even with the motor rotating.

The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is plugged. If the indicator lamp does not light up,
the mains cord or the controller may be malfunction. The
indicator lamp is lit but the tool does not start even if the
tool is switched on, the carbon brushes may be worn out,
or the controller, the motor or the ON/OFF switch may be
malfunction.
The red service indicator lamp flickers up when the
carbon brushes are nearly worn out to indicate that the
tool needs servicing. After approx. 8 hours of use, the
motor will automatically be shut off.
