Could be an under powered motor struggling to come up to speed. If that
tends to go away with use things may have been too tight for the motor. I
really can not see a need for a soft start.

I finally found a search combination on Google that got me to a few
related reviews and forum comments. *It does have a "soft start"
feature that is described as anywhere from "nice" to "humorous". *I
does take a few uses of the machine to get used to it. One rather
critical fellow said he starts it, goes to lunch, then comes back to
use it :^). *Not quite that bad but it takes a full second or more to
come to speed.

If it works and you are satisfied that is all you need especially
considering the price. *Wishing I had not needed the Fein 5 years ago....

Since I posted earlier this morning I have been in the garage playing
with it and various attachments, materials. Durability
notwithstanding, I think it is going to be a great tool to have,
probably one of those that will find new uses as I go on from here.
It appears to have plenty of power and I was very surprised at the
control. Their ads show someone doing rather precise cutting on
hardwood flooring and I had doubt. But with practice I think that
might be feasible, I saw a couple of complaints about noise that I
do not understand. Without an attachment, the tool is quiet. Cutting
through a piece of plywood scrap with the saw blade was noisy; but
that is the speaker-cone effect on the plywood.

Wish I had owned it a year or so ago when we were trimming door frames
in the new house.
