1. Speed adjusting dial
The rotating speed can be changed by turning the
speed 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 num-
ber settings on the dial and the approximate rotating
speed.

NOTICE:
If the tool is operated continuously at low
speeds for a long time, the motor will get overloaded,
resulting in tool malfunction.
NOTICE:
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.
Selecting the action mode
Use the change knob to change the rotation mode.
NOTICE:
Always turn the knob fully. If the knob is in
the middle position, you can not turn on the tool.
NOTE:
You can not change the action mode when the
tool is switched on.
