Operating Instructions
Your tool is equipped with an internal
electronic feedback system that provides a
"soft start", which will reduce the stresses that
occur from a high torque start. The system
also helps to keep the preselected speed
virtually constant between no-load and load
conditions.
(Models DG355LCE & DG490CE only)
This tool is equipped with a variable speed
dial. The speed may be controlled during
operation by presetting the dial in any one of
six positions.
