Battery protection system

The tool is equipped with the protection system, which
automatically cuts off the output power for long service
life. The light goes off during operation when the
remaining battery capacity gets low. This is caused by
the activation of the protection system and does not
show trouble. Remove the battery cartridge from the tool
and charge it.
