Start-Up
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press the on/off switch (4).
Press the locking mechanism (3) to lock the on/off switch (4) in this position.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (4); or, if the switch is locked, briefly press the on/off switch (4) and then release it.
- Always check polishing tools before using them. The polishing tools 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 polishing tools that are damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged polishing tools can burst apart and cause injuries.
Speed preselection
You can preselect the required speed using the thumbwheel for speed preselection (2), even during operation. The required speed depends on the material and the working conditions; it can be ascertained through practical tests.
Thumbwheel position | No-load speed (min-1) |
---|---|
1 | 900 |
2 | 1500 |
3 | 2000 |
4 | 2500 |
5 | 3000 |
6 | 3800 |
- The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
