8.2 Automatic protection mode
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated auto-

(continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a
maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger is
released (9) .
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging
totally and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED is flashing (13) , the battery pack is
almost flat. If necessary, press the (12) button
and check the LEDs (13) to see the charge
level. If the battery pack is almost flat, it must
be recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine
will activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: If the battery pack feels very warm, the
pack will cool more quickly in your "AIR
COOLED" charger.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
