USING THE TRIGGER SWITCH TO CONTROL VARIABLE SPEED cont.

1. To increase the speed, apply more pressure to the trigger switch.

2. To decrease the speed, apply less pressure.

Choosing the Correct Speed

The speed you use will depend on the type of materials that you are cutting:

1. Use high speeds for cutting wood.

2. Medium speed is best for non-ferrous materials.

3. Low speed is recommended for cutting metal.

NOTE:Material thickness and blade selection will also affect your speed

selection. As a general rule, as the material thickness increases, the speed

should be slower.

increase speed once the cut is started. Prolonged use at a very slow

speed may damage your saw.
