The belt speed can be infinitely adjusted between 210 m
(690 ft.) and 440 m (1,440 ft.) per minute by turning the
speed adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 5.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direc-
tion of number 5; lower speed is obtained when it is turned in
the direction of number 1.
Select the proper speed for the workpiece to be sanded.
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 5
and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed
adjusting function may no longer work.
