Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This

battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the

Overload protection
When the tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw
an abnormally high current, the tool automatically stops. 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 is overheated, the tool stops automatically,
and the battery indicator blink about 60 seconds. In this situ-
ation, 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 oper-
ated, remove the batteries from the tool and charge the batteries.
