To start the power tool, slide the on/off switch (5) forwards.
To lock the on/off switch (5) in position, push the on/off switch (5) forwards and down until it clicks into place.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (5); or, if the switch is locked, briefly push the on/off switch (5) backwards and down and then release it.
The restart protection feature prevents the power tool from uncontrolled starting after the power supply to it has been interrupted.
To restart the tool, set the on/off switch (5) to the off position and then switch the power tool on again.
Note: Rapidly switching the power tool off and on again may trigger the restart protection, meaning the power tool may not start up even if the on/off switch (5) is pressed. Set the on/off switch (5) to the off position and then switch the power tool on again.
