CONTROLLING CUTTING BLADE SPEED
The throttle trigger controls the speed at
which the cutting blades oscillate Squeeze the
throttle trigger more firmly for faster cutting
speed
Use the lowest pressure required to cut the
material This helps to maximize the amount of
cutting time per battery charge and reduces the
number of charging operations required
