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
