8. Use
8.1
Working close to walls
To open and close the segment: switch off the
machine and pull the mains plug. The acces-
sory must be stationary.
Only raise the segment (13) when working
close to walls. Otherwise, the segment must
be lowered.
The open area of the safety guard must face the
direction of the wall.
8.2
Setting the speed (RS 14-125)
Set the optimum speed on the setting wheel (20),
depending on the application.
A wheel setting of between 4 and 6 is suitable for
most applications.
8.3
Switching On and Off
Always guide the machine with both hands.
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 set it
down when the motor has come to a standstill.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine
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 on the work.
RS 14-125:
Switching on: Push the slide switch (18) forward.
For continuous activation, now tilt down-
wards until it engages.
Switching off: Press the rear end of the slide switch
(18) and release.
RS 17-125:
Momentary activation
Switching on: Press in lock (16) and then press
trigger (17). Release the lock (16).
Switching off: Release the trigger (17).
Continuous operation:
Switching on: Press in lock (16) and hold in. Press
and hold in trigger (17). The machine is now
switched on. Now release the trigger (17).
Then release the lock (16) to hold the trigger
in position and prevent deactivation
(continuous operation).

Switching off: Press the trigger (17) and release.
9. Cleaning, Maintenance
Motor cleaning: The machine must be vacuumed
regularly, frequently and thoroughly through the
ventilation slots using a suitable vacuum cleaner.
The machine must be held firmly in this case.
Replacing the spring-mounted ring brush:
Replace worn brushes for optimal dust extraction.
Replacement brush set: Order No. 6.28214.
10. Troubleshooting
RS 14-125:
The electronic signal display (19) lights
up and the load speed decreases. The coil
temperature is too high! Run the machine in
idling mode until the electronics signal indicator
switches off.
The electronic signal display (19) flashes
and the machine does not start. The restart
protection is 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.
RS 17-125:
- Restart protection: 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.
- Overload protection: There is a reduction in
load speed. The coil temperature is too high!
Allow the machine to run at idle speed until it has
cooled down.
- Switching on the machine reduces the voltage
briefly. Unfavourable mains power conditions may
have a detrimental effect on other machines.
Network impedances less than 0.4 ohms should
not cause malfunctions.
