# Start-up

## Switching on/off

- Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch without releasing the handle.

To start the power tool, first press the lock-off switch (1), then press and hold the on/off switch (16).

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (16).

Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (16) cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

## Run-out brake

An integrated run-out brake shortens the time the saw blade keeps running for after the power tool has been switched off.
