Appliance / battery protection

protection system. This system automatically cuts off
power to the motor to extend appliance and battery life.

that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the
appliance automatically stops. In this situation, turn the
appliance off and stop the application that caused the
appliance to become overloaded. Then turn the appli-
ance on to restart.
Overheat protection
