How to use the Auto Select™ dial (fi g. G)
This tool is fi tted with a unique Auto Select™ Dial (8) to set the speed and the pendulum blade action
for various cutting applications. To select the optimum speed and pendulum blade action for the type of
material being cut, turn the dial (8) as shown in the table below:
Switching on and off
♦ To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch

Sawing

before starting the cut.
