# Starting operation

## Switching On and Off

To start the power tool, slide the on/off switch (5) forwards.

To lock the on/off switch (5) in position, push the on/off switch (5) forwards and down until it clicks into place.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (5); or, if the switch is locked, briefly push the on/off switch (5) backwards and down and then release it.

## Restart Protection

The restart protection feature prevents the power tool from uncontrolled starting after the power supply to it has been interrupted.
To restart the tool, set the on/off switch (5) to the off position and then switch the power tool on again.

Note: Rapidly switching the power tool off and on again may trigger the restart protection, meaning the power tool may not start up even if the on/off switch (5) is pressed. Set the on/off switch (5) to the off position and then switch the power tool on again.
