# Start-Up

- Pay attention to the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

- Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less.

When operating the power tool using a mobile generator that does not have sufficient reserve capacity or an adequate voltage control system with inrush current boost converter, loss of performance or atypical behaviour may occur upon switch-on.

Please check the suitability of the power generator you are using, particularly with regard to the mains voltage and frequency.

## Switching On/Off

(GWS 12-125 P)

To start the power tool, push the unlocking lever (31) forwards and then push the on/off switch (3) up.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (3).

- Always check abrasive tools before using them. The abrasive tool must be fitted properly and be able to move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one minute with no load. Do not use abrasive tools that are damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged abrasive tools can burst apart and cause injuries.

## Switching on/off

(GWS 12-125 S)

To start the power tool, slide the on/off switch (32) forwards.

To lock the on/off switch (32) in position, press the on/off switch (32) down at the front until it clicks into place.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (32) or, if the switch is locked, briefly press the on/off switch (32) down at the back and then release it.

- Always check abrasive tools before using them. The abrasive tool must be fitted properly and be able to move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one minute with no load.
