Battery protection system
Thetoolisequippedwithabatteryprotectionsystem.
Thissystemautomaticallycutsoffpowertothemotorto
extend battery life.
Thetoolwillautomaticallystopduringoperationifthe
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
Overloaded:
Thetoolisoperatedinamannerthatcausesittodraw
an abnormally high current.
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.
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In
this situation, let the battery cool before turning the tool
on again.

Theremainingbatterycapacityistoolowandthetool
will not operate. If you turn the tool on, the motor runs
again but stops soon. In this situation, remove and
