Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the power tool starts up
smoothly.
Speed control
You can continuously adjust the speed within
the speed range using the adjusting
wheel [1-16] (see Technical data). This enables
you to optimise the cutting speed to suit specific
surfaces (see Section
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current
consumption under extreme overload, which
can lead to a decrease in the motor speed. The
motor immediately restarts after the load is re
moved.
