APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
 Numerous applications are available depending upon the

loaded, the power handle will automatically shut off and the
fuel gauge LEDs will flash on and off. To reset the tool, release
the trigger and resume operation. Do not force the tool.
HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The power handle is equipped with a high temperature
protection feature that deactivates the tool when it is over-
heated. When the tool or battery overheats, the tool will
automatically shut off and the LED light in front of the trigger
will flash on and off when the trigger is pulled. To resume
operation, allow the tool to cool and then squeeze the trigger.
