English 17 During Operation
17.1 Selecting the Power Level
The unit can be operated at three different power settings,
indicated by LEDs on the control handle. The higher the
power level, the faster the cutting attachment will rotate.
To set the power level:
► Push the retaining latch (1) forward with your thumb.
The LEDs indicate the power level.
► Push the retaining latch forward, hold it for approximately
1 second to activate the next power level.
Performing this operation at the highest power level will
cause the unit to return to the first power level.
Generally, battery life will be shorter when operating
continuously at the higher power levels.
