Safety devices

Switch lock

It must only be possible to set the GECKO FLEX into operation by intentionally pressing the 
switch. To assist in this, the tool possesses a switch lock (1) which prevents it from starting up 
if there is only pressure on the On/Off switch (2).  

Restart protection

If the power supply is interrupted while the tool is running, e.g. by pulling out the mains plug, 
the electronic restart protection ensures that the GECKO FLEX does not start up by 
itself when the plug is put back in. In this case, the tool must be switched off and then back on
again.

Over-temperature shutdown

The over-temperature shutdown function protects the motor from overheating and associated
damage. When a critical temperature is reached, the tool switches into cool-down mode, and
the speed is reduced. 

Caution!  Allow the tool to cool for approx. 3-5 minutes!

Tip: 
Allow the tool to run at maximum speed with no load, this provides better ventilation to 
the motor and reduces cool-down time.

Overload protection

If the current draw becomes too high due to extreme overloading, the tool switches off. It can 
be used again immediately after discharging; no cool-down phase is required.
