Speed adjusting dial
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 work-
piece 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.
