The tool speed can be steplessly adjusted between 0.8
m/s (157 ft/min) and 3.2 m/s (630 ft/min) by turning the
adjusting dial. 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.
Select the proper speed for the workpiece to be cut.
NOTICE:
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.
NOTICE:
Plastic materials may melt when cut-
ting at high speeds.
