PLUNGER SPEED
The jigsaw cutting speed or stroke rate
required depends on the material being cut,
the type of blade being used, and the feed rate
preferred by the operator.
The best speed for a particular application is
largely determined by experience though as a
general rule, slower speeds are for denser
materials and faster speeds for softer materials.
Note that when the jigsaw is used at low speed
settings for an extended length of time, the
motor temperature will rise due to slower
speeds of the internal cooling fan. In such
cases, it is necessary to occasionally run the
tool at full speed for a few minutes to keep the
motor running at high efficiency.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger
switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed
can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum
nameplate SPM by the pressure you apply to the
trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the
speed and release pressure to decrease speed
(Fig. 1).
