Overload Protection; Overheat Protection; Overdischarge Protection - Makita BV4500-118 Instruction Manual

Overload protection

When the battery is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automat-
ically stops without any indication. 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 or battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the lamp blinks. In this case, let the
tool and battery cool before turning the tool on again.

Overdischarge protection

When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically and the lamp blinks. In this case, remove
the battery from the tool and charge the battery.
