After working for a long time at a low speed, you should let the power tool rotate at no load for some time at maximum speed to cool down.

To switch on the power tool, set the on/off switch (11) to I.

To switch off the power tool, set the on/off switch (11) to 0.

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