Functional description
The pictures for the functional description are on a
fold-out page at the beginning of the instruction
manual. While reading the manual you can fold out
the page for comparison and quick reference.
Operation
Consider the pictures on the fold-out page.
Connecting and detaching the mains power cable -
see Fig. [2].
Before switching on the machine make sure
that the bayonet fitting at the power supply
cord is closed fully and locked.
ON/OFF button [1-1]
When the extractor signal is active, the power
tool cannot be switched on without a connected
extractor hose - see chapter Extractor signal.
In case of a power failure or if the mains con-
nector is removed, move the on/off switch im-
mediately to the Off position. This prevents un-
controlled restarting.
Settings
Electronics
The power tool is equipped with a brushless EC-
TEC motor for a long service life and power elec-
tronics with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control to ensure a uniform
sanding speed even when under load.
Speed reduction in the event of high vibrations
If high vibrations and oscillations occur at the pow-
er tool, e.g. with the use of an interface pad, the
speed is automatically reduced in order to protect
the power tool and the user.
