Overload protection
When the appliance / battery is operated in a manner
that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the
appliance automatically stops. In this situation, turn the
appliance off and stop the application that caused the
appliance to become overloaded. Then turn the appli-
ance on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the appliance / battery is overheated, the appli-
ance stops automatically. In this situation, let the appli-
ance / battery cool down before turning the appliance
on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity becomes low, the appliance
stops automatically. If the product does not operate
even when the switches are operated, remove the bat-
teries from the appliance and charge the batteries.
Protections against other causes

could damage the appliance and allows the appliance to
stop automatically. Take all the following steps to clear
the causes, when the appliance has been brought to a
temporary halt or stop in operation.
