Automatic speed change function
NOTE: Automatic speed change function is only
available when the speed adjusting dial is in 5.
This tool has "high speed mode" and "high torque mode".
The tool automatically changes the operation mode
depending on the work load. When the work load is low,
the tool will run in the "high speed mode" for quicker cut-
ting operation. When the work load is high, the tool will run
in the "high torque mode" for powerful cutting operation.
► Fig.10: 1. Mode indicator
The mode indicator lights up in green when the tool is
running in "high torque mode".
If the tool is operated with excessive load, the mode
indicator will blink in green. The mode indicator stops
blinking and then lights up or turns off if you reduce the
load on the tool.

Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the clamping screw securely.
Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and
move the blade lower limit stopper to the desired depth
on the scale plate. At the desired depth of cut, tighten
the clamping screw firmly.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
