Overload alert function
The overload alert function may work if the current rises
sharply due to the operation such as applying too much
pressure onto a workpiece.
The overload alert function decline the speed of the oscil-
lation and then increases the amplitude of vibration.
In this case, once isolate the application tool from the
workpiece, then the speed of the oscillation goes back.
Continue operation with an appropriate load.
Overload protection

causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool
stops automatically. 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.
Overheat protection
When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops
automatically. In this situation, let the tool/battery cool
before turning the tool on again.

When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the
tool and charge the battery.
