Start-up

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.

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.

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.

Switching on/off

(GWS 14-125 / GWS 14-125 S / GWS 17-125 / GWS 17-125 S / GWS 17-125 TS / GWS 17-125 S INOX / GWS 17-150 S / GWS 17-125 SB)

To start the power tool, push the on/off switch (3) forward.

To lock the on/off switch (3) in position, push the on/off switch (3) forward and down until it clicks into place.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (3); or, if the switch is locked, briefly push the on/off switch (3) 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.

Switching On/Off

(GWS 17-125 PS / GWS 17-150 PS / GWS 17-125 PSB)

To start the power tool, push the unlocking lever (7) to the rear and then push the on/off switch (3) upwards.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (3).
