Operation; Switch; Variable Speed Dial - Black & Decker BD200MT Instruction Manual

Switch
CAUTION:
Be sure switch is fully OFF before plugging in the power cord.
CAUTION:
Because the BD200MT has a separate speed dial for setting the speed
(1-6), the toot will start at the speed where the speed dial is set.
• Plug in power cord.
• To turn the toot ON, hold it as shown in
figure 5 and push the slide switch
forward.
• To turn the toot OFF, push the slide
switch backward.
Variable Speed Dial
To operate the tool, select the speed setting you wish with the speed dial, shown in
figure 6, and slide the ON/OFF switch forward. The speed setting can be adjusted
either with the tool on or off.

speed where the speed dial is set.
The numbered positions,1 through 6
inscribed on the variable speed dial, do
not indicate any precise speed but are
good reference points. The higher the
number, the higher the tool speed.
The approximate speed at each setting is:
SPEED SETTING 1 2 3 4 5 6
OSCiLLATiONS PER MINUTE 10,000 12,000 14,000 16,000 18,000 20,000
(Actual oscillations per minute on your toot may vary.)
Be sure to select the proper speed for your oscillating tool operation. In general, use
lower speeds (1-3) for cutting metal and PVC or plastic materials and use higher
speeds (4-6) for sanding, removal & wood cutting applications. For paint, varnish, or
other finish removal, use the lowest speed setting (1) to get the maximum life from the
sanding sheet.
If in doubt about the proper speed for your operation, test the performance at low
speed settings and gradually increase until a comfortable speed is found.
