CAUTION: Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the appliance, causing injury to you or someone around you.
CAUTION: Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Appliance/battery protection system

The appliance is equipped with a appliance / battery protec-tion system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend appliance and battery life. The appliance will automatically stop during operation if the appliance or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the appliance is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the appliance automatically stops without any indication. In this situation, turn the appli-ance off and stop the application that caused the appliance to become overloaded. Then turn the appliance on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the appliance is overheated, the appliance stops automatically, and the LED light blinks about 60 seconds. In this situation, let the appliance cool down before turning the appliance on again.

Over-discharge protection
When the battery capacity becomes low, the appliance stops automatically. If the product does not operate even when the switches are operated, remove the bat-teries from the appliance and charge the batteries.

Indicating the remaining battery capacity

Only for battery cartridges with the indicator

Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indi-cate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light up for a few seconds.

NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the actual capacity.

Switch box position

The switch box can be hooked on either side of the lower belt. Arrange the cord so that the switch box comes to your desired side. To prevent the cord from being damaged, pass the cord through the groove as illustrated.

Adjusting belts

The tightness of the shoulder belts, upper and lower belts can be adjusted. Put your arms through the shoul-der belts first then fasten the lower and upper belts. To tighten, pull the end of the strap as illustrated. To loosen, pull up the end of the fastener.
