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.

You can even preselect the orbital stroke rate during operation using the necessary orbital stroke rate preselection thumbwheel (5).

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.

The Constant Electronic keeps the oscillation speed 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.

In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be overloaded. If the power tool is overloaded or the permitted battery temperature is exceeded, the electronics of the power tool will switch off until the temperature returns to within the optimum operating temperature range.
