DF 700 EQ

when under load.

Temperature cut-out

The machine power supply is limited and the speed

reduced if the motor exceeds a certain tempera-

ture. The machine continues operating at reduced

power to allow the ventilator to cool the motor

quickly. If the machine temperature exceeds the

maximum permitted value for longer periods, the

machine switches off completely after approx. 40

seconds and can only be switched on again once the

motor has cooled sufficiently.

Restart protection

The integral restart protection prevents the ma-

chine from automatically starting up again after an

interruption in power when the machine is used in

continuous operating mode. In this case the ma-

chine must be switched off and then switched back

on again.
