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 machine or battery is operated in a manner
that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the
machine automatically stops and the lamp for mode 1
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 lamp for mode 1
lights up in red. In this case, let the machine and battery
cool down before turning the machine on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the machine
stops automatically and the lamp for mode 1 blinks in
red. In this case, remove the battery from the machine
and charge the battery.
