Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions:

Overload protection

When the battery is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automati-
cally stops and the main power lamp blinks in green. In
this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application
that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn
the tool on to restart.

Overheat protection

When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the main power lamp lights up in red.
In this case, let the tool and battery cool before turning
the tool on again.

Overdischarge protection

When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically and the main power lamp blinks in red. In
this case, remove the battery from the tool and charge
the battery cartridges or change the battery cartridges
to fully charged ones.
