# Overload protection

In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be overloaded. In the event of excessive load or temperatures outside of the permitted battery temperature range, it will automatically switch off. Then switch off the power tool and stop the work that caused the power tool to be overloaded. Switch the power tool back on to restart the work process.

Note: The overload protection is activated if you try cutting the following types of threaded rods.

- A threaded rod that is larger than the size of the cutting jaws.
- A threaded rod that has a higher strength than the cutting capacity of the power tool.
