motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto

placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the battery is operated in a manner that causes
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.
