6. Initial Operation

6.1 Assembly, setting
See page 2, fig. A.
Attach and set handle bar
Put the handle bar (3) on the gearbox flange (put on
the right way around, see page 2 fig. A: clamping
lever (4) shows forwards).
The handle bar (3) must be fitted as far as the
limit stop on the gearbox flange.
After releasing the clamping lever (4), the handle
bar (3) can be turned to the desired position. Firmly
tighten the clamping lever (4) again. The position of
the lever might need to be changed for this purpose.
The position of the lever (4) can be changed without
turning the clamping screw. For this purpose, raise
the lever, turn it and then lower the lever again (see
page 2, fig. B).
When working, always position the lever (4) in
a way that it cannot come into contact with the
tool.
Attach and set guard
Attach the guard (2) as shown using the side handle
(1) and the screws (5) at the handle bar (3).
Keep the distance to the tool as short as possible.
Tighten the additional handle by applying force.
Attach tensioning spindle
Holding the spindle locking button down, screw the
tensioning (14) spindle (8) onto the spindle (9) and
tighten with an open-ended spanner (15).
6.2 For mains powered machines only
Connection to Power Mains
Before commissioning, check that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated
on the type plate match your power supply.
14
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
The red electronics signal indicator (10) lights up
briefly when the mains plug is inserted in the socket,
indicating readiness for operation.
Setting speed
The speed can be preset via the thumb-wheel (11)
and is infinitely variable.
Positions 1-6 correspond approximately to the
following no-load speeds:
1 ........ 800 / min
2 ........ 1250 / min
3 ........ 1700 / min
The VTC electronics make material-compatible
work possible and an almost constant speed, even
under load.
The best way to determine the ideal speed setting is
by performing a test.
6.3 For cordless machines only
Dust filter
Always fit the dust filter (17) if the surroundings
are heavily polluted.
The machine heats up faster when the dust
filter (17) is fitted. It is protected by the
electronics system from overheating (see Section
10.).
Attachment: See page 2, fig. C.
Fit the dust filter (17) as shown.
To remove: Hold the dust filter (17) by the upper
edges, raise it slightly and then pull it downwards
and remove.
Rotating battery pack
See page 2, fig. D.
The rear section of the machine can be rotated 270°
in 3 stages, thus allowing the machine's shape to be
adapted to the working conditions. Only operate the
machine when it is in an engaged position.
Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (21) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and
30°C.
"Li-Power, LiHD" lithium ion battery packs have a
capacity and signal indicator (20):
- Press the button (19), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
