# Soft start

## (GWS 20-230 J / GWS 22-180 J / GWS 22-230 J / GWS 2200 (3 601 HC0 3.. / 3 601 HC1 3..))

The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power tool is switched on and enables a smooth start-up.

Note: If the power tool runs at full speed immediately after being switched on, this means that the soft start and restart protection mechanisms have failed. The power tool must be sent to the after-sales service immediately (see the "After-Sales Service and Application Service" section for addresses).
