(Fig. 15).
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" slide the switch

ELECTRONIC VARIABLE SPEED
CONTROL (Model 170.265610 only)
The electronic speed control feature allows
motor speed to be matched to cutter size
and material hardness for improved finish,
extended bit life, and higher performance.
Speed changes are achieved by rotating
Control Dial RIGHT to increase speed, LEFT
to decrease as indicated on housing (Fig. 16).
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL DIAL
(Model 170.265610 only)
Speed may be changed while tool is on. The
reference numbers on the dial facilitate
re-setting control to desired speed.
For best results, when using cut-out bits, we
recommend only using dial setting 25 or 30.
You will not obtain a quality cut if you lower
the dial setting to 15 or 20.
DEPTH GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
Use the depth guide to adjust the depth of
cut. Using the end of the standard wrench,
loosen (counter clockwise) the screw enough
to enable the depth guide to slide up or down
to the desired depth of cut (about 1/8"
greater than material thickness) and
retighten the locking screw (clockwise)
(Fig. 17).
