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.
NOTE: Overload protection activates when you try to
cut the following kinds of threaded rods.
— A threaded rod which is larger than the cutting
die size.
— A threaded rod which is harder than the cutting
capacity of the cutting dies.
Overheat protection
When the tool is overheated, the tool automatically
stops and the LED light will blink. Let the tool cool down
before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity becomes low, the tool stops
automatically. If the product does not operate even
when the switches are operated, remove the batteries
from the tool and charge the batteries.
