Speed adjusting dial
For model RP1101 only
003666
The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed adjust-
ing dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direc-
tion of number 6. And lower speed is obtained when it is
turned in the direction of number 1.
This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum mate-
rial processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly adjusted to
suit the material and bit diameter.
Refer to the table for the relationship between the number
RPM
settings on the dial and the approximate tool speed.
