If using the optional powerpack instead of a cordless drill, move
the direction selector switch to the UP position (Figure 3-21.).

Hold the handle so the enable trigger is pressed and squeeze the
speed trigger. The function speed is proportional to how far the
speed trigger is pressed.
To stop, simply release the speed trigger. A slow release makes
the platform come to a smooth stop.
Most cordless drills and the motor in the powerpack are fitted with
thermal overload protection. In case of overheating, this cuts
power to the motor. The cutout automatically resets itself when the
motor has cooled down, allowing normal operation to resume.
Depending on ambient temperature this can take 5 to 30 minutes.
