Starting Operation

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

To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch (1) forward so that “1” appears on the switch.

To switch off the power tool, slide the on/off switch (1) backward so that “0” appears on the switch.

You can even preselect the orbital stroke rate during operation using the necessary orbital stroke rate preselection thumbwheel (7).

1–2

Low orbital stroke rate

3–4

Medium orbital stroke rate

5–6

High orbital stroke rate

The required orbital stroke rate is dependent on the material and the work conditions and can be determined using practical tests.

After working at a low orbital stoke rate for an extended period, you should operate the power tool at the maximum orbital stroke rate for approximately three minutes without load to cool it down.

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 (1) to the off position and then switch the power tool on again.
