Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw
an abnormally high current.
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.
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool
will not operate. If you turn the tool on, the motor runs
again but stops soon. In this situation, remove and
recharge the battery.

NOTE: Be sure to set a garbage bag beneath the
capsule, as dust may spill out when the capsule is
opened.
Remove accumulated dust from inside of the capsule
and off of the prefilter.
