Unintentional restart proof
The tool does not start with the switch being lock-on
even when the tool is plugged.
At this time, the indication lamp blinks in red to show the
unintentional restart proof device is working.
To cancel the unintentional restart proof, return the
switch to OFF position.
NOTE: Wait more than one second before restarting
the tool when unintentional restart proof works.
Active Feedback sensing Technology
CAUTION:
Hold the tool firmly until the rota-
tion stops.
The tool electronically detects situations where the
wheel or accessory may be at risk to be bound. In such
situation, the tool automatically shuts off the power to
prevent further rotation of the spindle (this does not
prevent kickback).
At this time, the indication lamp blinks in red and shows
the Active Feedback sensing Technology is working.
To restart the tool, switch off the tool first, remove the
cause of sudden drop in the rotation speed, and then
turn the tool on.
Soft start feature
Soft start feature reduces starting reaction.
