Speed adjusting dial (For JR3070CT)

► 1 . Adjusting dial
The strokes per minute can be adjusted just by turning the adjust-
ing dial. This can be done even while the tool is running. The dial
is marked 1 (lowest speed) to 6 (full speed). Turn the adjusting dial
without positive stops between 1 and 6 according to your work.
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.

1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer
work.
