Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This ensures a uni
form speed even when under load.
Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power con
sumption is limited at an excessive motor tem
perature (e.g. if the pressure is too high while
working). If the temperature continues to rise,
the power tool switches off. It can only be
switched on again once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.

Sanding discs
