Electronic torque control function
The tool electronically detects a sudden drop in the rotation
speed which may cause a kickback. In this situation, the tool
automatically stops to prevent further rotation of cutting tool.
To restart the tool, release the switch trigger. Clear the cause
of sudden drop in the rotation speed and then turn the tool on.
NOTE:
This function is not a preventive measure for
kickbacks.
