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. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
  • 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/off

To start the power tool, push the on/off switch (4) forward.

To lock the on/off switch (4) in position, push the on/off switch (4) forward and down until it clicks into place.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (4); or, if the switch is locked, briefly push the on/off switch (4) backward and down and then release it.

  • 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.

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