The machine features full-wave electronics with
the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The motor speed remains constant through elec-
tronic control to ensure a uniform cutting speed
even when under load.
Temperature cut-out
The machine power supply is limited and the speed
reduced if the motor exceeds a certain tempera-
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
The mains voltage and the frequency of the pow-

ture. The machine continues operating at reduced
power to allow the ventilator to cool the motor
quickly. If the machine temperature exceeds the
maximum permitted value for longer periods, the
machine switches off completely after approx. 40
seconds and can only be switched on again once the
motor has cooled sufficiently.
Restart protection
The integral restart protection prevents the ma-
chine from automatically starting up again after an
interruption in power when the machine is used in
continuous operating mode. In this case the ma-
chine must be switched off and then switched back
on again.
