discharged, an LED on the battery
is blinking.
A long-lasting overload situation
caused the machine or the
rechargeable battery to overheat.

(permanent beep).
It stops after max. 30 seconds or
after you have released the

the load increases. This increase,
which occurs in the event of
sudden blockage or a kickback, is
measured and causes a
shutdown.

Remedial action
Insert a rechargeable battery
Charge the rechargeable battery
Ensure that the rechargeable
battery is engaged
Charge the rechargeable battery if
only one LED shines.
Allow machine and rechargeable
battery to cool down.
The rechargeable battery cools
down quicker in a charger with air
cooling.
Operating the machine with a
different battery while idling will
also allow it to cool down more
quickly.
Release the switching button to
switch off the machine.
Afterwards, you can switch the
machine back on and continue
working.
Try to avoid further blockage.
