Starting Operation

GOF 1250 LCE: Once the mains voltage has been applied, the light ring (3) lights up continuously to illuminate the workpiece surface.

Insert the battery see Changing the Battery (GOF 1250 LCE) (see figure M). In some versions the battery is already inserted. Remove the seal on the battery to activate it.

Use the button (17) to set the required unit of measure.

You can preselect the required speed using the speed preselection thumbwheel (28), even during operation.

The values shown in the table are guide values. The required speed is dependent on the material and the work conditions and can be determined by practical trials.

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

Before switching on, set the required routing depth.

To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (29) and keep it pressed.

Press the lock-on button (2) to lock the on/off switch (29) in this position.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (29); or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (2), briefly press the on/off switch (29) and then release it.

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

The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power tool is switched on and increases the service life of the motor.

The overload protection prevents impermissibly high current consumption in the event of extreme overload. This can lead to a reduction in motor speed and power output or in extreme cases to motor standstill.

Once the load has been removed from the power tool, the motor immediately runs up or back to working speed.

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

The release lever (23) is automatically reset when you let go of it. For better retention force, the release lever (23) must be pulled back as far as it will go. The retention force can be readjusted if required. To do so, insert an hex key (4 mm) into the opening on the handle. Turn the hex key clockwise to increase the retention force, and turn it anticlockwise to reduce the retention force.
