If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and
resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery
needs to be recharged.
Note: The LED charge indicator light will not work if the
battery protection feature has caused the battery pack to
stop powering the tool. When the battery pack resets itself,
the LED will again function.
