The tool speed can be infinitely 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
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed

faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.
