Speed adjusting dial For model RF1101 and RD1101 only The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 8,000 and 24,000 rpm by turning the speed adjusting dial on the top of the tool. 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. This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter. CAUTION: • If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, the motor will get overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction. • 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. 8
