Starting Operation

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

To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (1).

To switch off the power tool, press the on/off switch (1) again.

The orbital stroke rate can be increased with the button for increasing the orbital stroke rate (11) and reduced with the button for reducing the orbital stroke rate (10). The required speed can also be adjusted during operation.

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

The Constant Electronic keeps the orbital stroke rate at no load and under load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uniform performance.

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.
