Overload protection
When the tool is operated in a manner that causes it to
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
seconds. In this situation, let the tool and batteries cool
before turning the tool on again.

Overdischarge protection
When either battery's capacity becomes too low, the
