Starting Operation

To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch (1) forward so that "I" appears on the switch.

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

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

To switch off the power tool, slide the on/off switch (1) backwards so that "0" appears on the switch.

Note: If the power tool shuts down automatically because the battery is flat or overheated, switch the power tool off using the on/off switch (1).
Charge the battery or let it cool down before switching the power tool on again. Failure to do so can damage the battery.

You can even preselect the required orbital stroke rate during operation using the orbital stroke rate preselection thumbwheel (6).

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

Orbital stroke rate level "6" is recommended for sawing wood. Orbital stroke rate level "4" is suitable for sanding or sawing plastic and metal.

Caution: Please take note of the information concerning the maximum orbital stroke rate on the accessory or on the packaging of the accessories. Orbital stroke rate level "4" is the maximum level that should be used when working with accessories such as sanding and RIFF accessories. If the orbital stroke rate is too high, this will considerably increase the wear on the accessory and can also lead to premature breakdown.
