► 1 . Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be 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 work-
piece 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 jig saw blade will be reduced.
