NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and the
ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly
from the actual capacity.
Machine/battery protection system
The machine is equipped with a machine/battery
protection system. This system automatically cuts off
power to the motor to extend machine and battery life.
The machine will automatically stop during operation if
the machine or battery is placed under one of the fol-
lowing conditions:
Overload protection
When the machine or battery is operated in a manner
that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the
machine automatically stops without any indication. In
this situation, turn the machine off and stop the appli-
cation that caused the machine to become overloaded.
Then turn the machine on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the machine or battery is overheated, the
machine stops automatically. In this case, let the
machine and battery cool before turning the machine
on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the machine
stops automatically. In this case, remove the battery
from the machine and charge the battery.

tridge into the machine, always check to see that
