Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys
-
tem. This system automatically cuts off the power to
extend tool and battery life. The tool will automatically
stop during operation if the tool or battery is placed
under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
This protection works when the tool is operated in a
manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high cur
-
rent. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the appli
-
cation that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then
turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
This protection works when the tool or battery is over
-
heated. In this situation, let the tool and battery cool
before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
This protection works when the remaining battery
capacity gets low. In this situation, remove the battery
from the tool and charge the battery.

Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
