The speed can be preset via the setting wheel
(3)and is infinitely variable.
Positions 1-6 correspond approximately to the
following no-load speeds:
1 ......... 700 rpm
2 ......... 1100 rpm
3 ......... 1500 rpm
The VTC electronics make material-compatible
work possible and an almost constant speed, even
under load.
8.2 Switching On and Off
Switch on first, then guide the accessory
towards the workpiece.
The machine must not be allowed to draw in
additional dust and shavings. When
switching the machine on and off, keep it away
from dust deposits. After switching off the
machine, only place it down when the motor has
come to a standstill.

continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand in a
safe position and concentrate.

the load speed decreases. The coil temperature
is too high! Run the machine in idling until the elec-
tronics signal indicator switches off.
The electronic signal display (4) flashes and the

active. If the mains plug is inserted with the
machine switched on, or if the current supply is
restored following an interruption, the machine
does not start up. Switch the machine off and on
again.
