The Carvex power button gets slid to On and the plastic tab gets inserted behind the switch to keep the power on. The Carvex cord then plugs into the CMS and the Carvex's power is now controlled by the CMS's switch.

Here's the only video I could find right away to demonstrate, see about halfway through the video - "Festool TV Folge 25: Pendelstichsäge CARVEX PS 420 - Einbau in das CMS"

If you lose the key at anytime, I suspect a coin or similar piece of plastic, metal or wood could be substituted.
