Machine / battery protection system
The machine is equipped with a machine/battery protec-
tion system. This system automatically cuts off power to
the motor to extend machine and battery life. The machine
will automatically stop during operation if the machine or
battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw
an abnormally high current, the machine automatically stops and
the main power lamp blinks in green. In this situation, turn the
machine off and stop the application that caused the machine to
become overloaded. Then turn the machine on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the machine or battery is overheated, the
machine stops automatically and the main power lamp
lights up in red. In this case, let the machine and battery
cool before turning the machine on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the machine stops
automatically and the main power lamp blinks in red. In this case,
remove the battery from the machine and charge the battery
cartridges or change the battery cartridges to fully charged ones.
Indicating the remaining battery capacity
Only for battery cartridges with the indicator
