7.1
Electronics
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This ensures a uni
form speed even when under load.
Speed control
You can use the adjusting wheel [3-1] to contin
uously adjust the speed within the speed range
(see Section Technical data). This enables you
to optimise the speed to suit the respective ma
terial. Please also note the specifications on the
tools.
Scorch or melt marks on the material can be
prevented through reducing the speed.
Temperature cut-out
The power supply is restricted and the speed
reduced if the motor exceeds a certain temper
ature. The power tool continues operating at re
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the
motor quickly. The power tool starts up again
automatically once the motor has cooled suffi
ciently.
Restart protection
The built-in restart protection prevents the
power tool from starting up again automatically
if the power is disconnected when the on/off
switch is pressed. In this case, the power tool
must be switched off and then switched back on
again.
Due to the built-in restart protection, the power
tool cannot be switched on and off via an exter
nal switch module.
