the adjusting dial. This can be done even while the tool
is running. The dial is marked 1 (lowest speed) to 6 (full
speed). Turn the adjusting dial without positive stops

between 1 and 6 according to your work.
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.

kept constant even under load condition.
