Overload protection
This protection works when the tool is operated in a
manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high cur-
rent. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the appli-
cation that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then
turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automati-
cally and the lamps blink. In this situation, let the tool
and battery cool before turning the tool on again.

capacity gets low. In this situation, remove the battery
from the tool and charge the battery.

cate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps
