Overheat protection

If the machine or battery cartridge is overheated, the
machine stops automatically. When the machine is
overheated, the main power lamp lights up in red. When
the battery cartridge is overheated, the main power
lamp blinks in red. Let the machine and/or battery cool
down 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 cartridge or change the battery car-
tridge to fully charged one.

temporary halt or stop in operation.
1. Turn the machine off, and then turn it on again to
restart.
2. Charge the battery(ies) or replace it/them with
