Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw
an abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the switch trigger on the tool
and stop the application that caused the tool to become
overloaded. Then pull the switch trigger again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated.
In this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the
switch trigger again.
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool
will not operate. If you pull the switch trigger, the motor
runs again but stops soon. In this situation, remove and
recharge the battery.
