Automatic speed change function
This tool has "high speed mode" and "high torque

The tool automatically changes the operation mode
depending on the work load. When the work load is low,
the tool will run in the "high speed mode" for quicker
cutting operation. When the work load is high, the tool
will run in the "high torque mode" for powerful cutting
operation.
► 1. Mode indicator
The mode indicator lights up in green when the tool is
running in "high torque mode".
If the tool is operated with excessive load, the mode
indicator will blink in green. The mode indicator stops
blinking and then lights up or turns off if you reduce the
load on the tool.

Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base
up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the base
by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Positive stopper
The positive stopper is useful for setting the des-
ignated angle quickly. Turn the positive stopper so
that the arrow on it points your desired bevel angle
(22.4°/45°/56°). Loosen the lever and then tilt the tool
base until it stops. The position where the tool base
stops is the angle you set with the positive stopper.
Tighten the lever with the tool base at this position.
