SETTING THE SPEED MODE (FIG. 20)
Your tool is equipped with a speed control
panel, located at the top of the rear end of the
handle. It consists of the speed preset button,
"A" button, and 5 LED indicators. You can use
the buttons to select one of the 5 speed presets
(or modes) based on the material to be cut.
To select the speed preset:
a. First, check the active speed preset, there are
two ways to do so:
one way is to turn the On/Off switch ON and
–
then OFF.
the other way is to press the speed preset
–
button or the "A" button without touching the
On/Off switch.
In either case, the LED indicator above the
–
active speed preset will light up.
b. Press the speed preset button to cycle
through the presets 1, 2, 3, and 4 until the
desired preset is activated.
See more details in the table below.
To select the "A" mode:
Press the "A" button to activate the "A" preset.
The next time the tool is turned on, it will
automatically reduce the no-load speed to
reduce the vibration. Once the tool engages
the workpiece, the speed will reach the highest
level. This makes it is easy to position the tool at
the beginning of the cut.
