it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automati-
cally stops and the main power lamp blinks in green. 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 or battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the main power lamp lights up in red.
In this case, let the tool and battery cool before turning
the tool on again.
NOTE:
In high temperature environment, the over-
heat protection likely to work and the tool stops
automatically.
Overdischarge protection
