Speed adjusting dial
Standby
► 1 . Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted by turning the
speed adjusting dial. You can get the highest speed at 6
and the lowest speed at 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.

CAUTION:
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.
When the speed adjusting dial is at 3 or higher,
the tool automatically reduces the no-load
speed to reduce the vibration under no-load.
Once the tool gets load, the tool speed reaches
the preset speed. Then the tool keeps the speed
until the tool is switched off. When temperature
is low and there is less fluidity in grease, the tool
may not have this function even with the motor
rotating.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before carrying
out any work on the tool.
