9.Adjusting the blade reciprocating speed

This unit has a built-in electronic control circuit that makes it possible to adjust the variable speed of the saw blade either both by pulling a switching trigger or turning a dial. (Fig. 15)

(1)If you pull the trigger further in, the speed of the blade accelerates. Begin cutting at a low speed to ensure the accuracy of your target cut position. Once you’ve obtained a sufficient cutting depth, increase the cutting speed.

(2)On the dial scale, “5” is the maximum speed and “1” the minimum. The high speed is generally suitable for soft materials such as wood, and the low speed is suitable for hard materials such as metal. We recommend that you use the following as a rough guide in selecting the suitable speed for the materials you are cutting.
