Adjusting the speed
The speed can be adjusted to suit the work piece being
cut. The variable speed dial (1) is located at the top of
the saw for convenient adjustment of the speed.
1. Turn the saw on by lifting the on/off switch (1).
2. Turn the dial in a clockwise direction for a faster
speed and in an anti-clockwise direction to reduce
the speed.
3. Determine the optimum speed by making a trial cut
in a scrap piece of material.
Note. Using the correct speed for the job increases the
life of the saw blade.
