# 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.

- 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.

- Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces and auxiliary handle only. The application tool could come into contact with hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with live wires may make metal parts of the tool live, posing a risk of electric shock.

## Switching On and Off

Switching On With Locking Mechanism

To start the power tool, first press the on/off switch (2) ➊, then slide it forwards ➋ and then press and hold it ➌.

To lock the pressed on/off switch (2), slide the on/off switch (2) further forwards ➍.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2); or, if the switch is locked, briefly press the on/off switch (2) and then release it.

Switching On Without Locking Mechanism

To start the power tool, first press the on/off switch (2) ➊, then slide it forwards ➋ and then press and hold it ➌.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2).

- 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.
