Lock-off button 2. Switch trigger Speed adjusting dial CAUTION: The speed adjusting dial is not for using low speed rated blades but for obtaining a speed which is suitable to material of workpiece. Use only blades which are rated for at least the maximum no load speed stated in the SPECIFICATIONS. CAUTION: The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work. The tool speed can be adjusted 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. Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 min-1 2,200 2,700 3,800 4,900 6,000 6,400 3 2 Fig.12 ► 1 .

Other features The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to operate because of the following features. Overload protector When the load on the tool exceeds admissible levels, power to the motor is reduced to protect the motor from overheating. When the load returns to admissible levels, the tool will operate as normal. 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. 7 ENGLISH
