thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke and
greatly increases cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action
changing lever to the desired cutting action position.

The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 500
and 3,100 strokes per minute 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.
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.
