Machine / battery protection system
The machine is equipped with a machine/battery protec-

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 following conditions:

Overload protection

When the battery is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current, the machine
automatically stops and the main power lamp blinks in
green. In this situation, turn the machine off and stop
the application 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 and the main power lamp
lights up in red. 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 and the main power lamp blinks in
red. In this case, remove the battery from the machine
