Overload protection

When the machine or battery is operated in a manner 

that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the 

machine automatically stops without any indication. In 

this situation, turn the machine off and stop the appli-

cation that caused the machine to become overloaded. 

Then turn the machine on to restart.

Overheat protection

When the machine or battery is overheated, the 

machine stops automatically. In this case, let the 

machine and battery cool before turning the machine 

on again.

Overdischarge protection

When the battery capacity is not enough, the machine 

stops automatically. In this case, remove the battery 

from the machine and charge the battery.
