Overload protection

When the tool is operated in a manner that causes it to
draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically
stops without any indication. 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

On
When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automatically, and
the battery indicator blinks about 60 seconds. In this situa-
tion, let the tool cool down before turning the tool on again.

Overdischarge protection

When the battery capacity becomes low, the tool stops
automatically. If the product does not operate even
when the switches are operated, remove the batteries
from the tool and charge the batteries.
