adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 5.

Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the

direction of number 5. And lower speed is obtained when

it is turned in the direction of number 1.

Refer to the table for the relationship between the

number settings on the dial and the approximate rotating

• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far

as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the

speed adjusting function may no longer work.

Electronic function

The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to

operate because of the following features.

Constant speed control

Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is

kept constant even under the loaded condition.

Soft start feature

Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
