draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically
stops without any indication. 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 or batteries is overheated, the tool stops
automatically and the battery indicators blink about 60

before turning the tool on again.
