Control the speed of your motor by rolling the speed control knob with
your hand or foot until you reach the desired speed.
• Five-speed motor: The speed control knob on a five‑speed motor
is numbered 1–5 and allows you to select one of five preset speeds.
• Variable speed motor: The speed control knob on a variable
speed motor allows you the capability of variable speed selections
from off to high.

Constant/Momentary/High‑Bypass
Momentary switch: The momentary switch is located on the top right
side of the foot pedal. The momentary switch works in conjunction with
the three‑position switch when it is in momentary or high‑bypass
position.
Three-position switch:
This three‑position switch provides three
options for operating the motor: constant on, momentary, and
high‑bypass.
• Constant on: This allows the motor to run continuously at the
speed selected by the speed control knob without the use of the
momentary switch.
• Momentary: This allows the motor to activate with the momentary
switch at the speed selected by the speed control knob.
