machine and battery life. The tool or machine will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool, machine, or
battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection

manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high
current, the tool or machine automatically stops. In
this situation, turn the tool or machine off and stop the
application that caused the tool or machine to become
overloaded. Then turn the tool or machine on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the tool, machine, or battery is overheated, the
tool or machine automatically stops. In this case, let the
tool or machine and battery cool before turning the tool
or machine on again.
