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/battery is operated in a manner that
causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the machine
automatically stops and the indicator lamp lights up in
red. In this situation, turn the machine off and stop the
application that caused the machine to become over-
loaded. Then turn the machine on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the machine is overheated, the machine stops auto-
matically and the indicator lamp lights up in red. Let the
machine cool down before turning the machine on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the
indicator lamp blinks in red. By further use, the machine
stops and the indicator lamp lights up in red. In this
situation, charge the battery cartridge.
