draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically
stops. 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.
Overheat protection
When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automati-
cally, and the battery indicator blink about 60 seconds.
In this situation, let the tool cool down before turning the
tool on again.
On
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity becomes low, the tool stops
automatically and the battery indicator of the depleted
battery cartridge will blink. If the product does not oper-
ate even when the switches are operated, remove the
