9. Troubleshooting
9.1 The machine's multifunctional
monitoring system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode.
In spite of this protective function, overloading
is still possible with certain applications and
can result in damage to the machine.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED (7) is flashing, the battery pack is
almost flat. If necessary, press the button (6) and
check the LEDs (7) 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.
