LECTRIC DRIVE MOTOR
Push the trigger button and adjust the speed on top of the drive motor. For perma-
nent speed, the trigger button can be locked at the bottom of the handle.
After locking, the trigger button can be released and the machine keeps running. In
addition, it is possible to select the direction of the rotation (cw, ccw). It is always
recommended to use the clockwise direction, because only in clockwise direction,
the machine can reach its max. speed (white arrow points to the top).
On top of the electric drive motor, the direction of the rotation is indicated by two
diodes (“R” means clockwise”. The electric drive motor is equipped with an addi-
tional 2-stage mechanically switching gear. The switch for the mechanical gear is
located on the bottom side of the electric drive motor.
The switch is marked with a turtle and a rabbit. The turtle means high ratio (max.
speed = 245 rpm, high torque). The rabbit means low ratio (max. speed = 700 rpm,
lower torque).
