Makita SP6000 instruction manual Assembly, Hex wrench storage, Removing or installing saw blade

The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 2,000 and 5,200 rotations 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.

suitable to material of workpiece. Use only saw blades which are rated for at least 5,200 min-1.

The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to operate because of the following features.

Overload protector

When the tool is overloaded and current flows above a certain level, the tool automatically stops to protect motor.

Constant speed control

Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed. Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constant even under load condition.

Soft start feature

Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
