Place the tool on a flat wood surface. Open the lock
lever. Turn the motor unit until the bit just touches the
flat surface. Close the lock lever.
Rotate the scale ring until the zero-line is on the index
line on the motor unit. One graduation on the scale ring
means the cutting edge of the bit is exposed 1/64"
below the base. While holding up the base slightly, open
the lock lever and turn the motor unit clockwise until the
index line on the motor unit reaches the desired depth
indicated on the scale ring. Close the lock lever firmly.

trigger fully, then release it.
Speed adjusting dial
For model RF1101 and RD1101 only
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 8,000
and 24,000 rpm by turning the speed adjusting dial on
the top of the tool. Higher speed is obtained when the
dial is turned in the direction of number 6; lower speed
is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1.
This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum
material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly
adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter.
CAUTION:
If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds
•
for a long time, the motor will get overloaded,
resulting in tool malfunction.
The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far
•
as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or
the speed adjusting function may no longer work.
