7. Adjusting the blade operating speed
The jig saw is equipped with the electric control circuit which enables stepless speed
control. To adjust the speed, turn the dial shown in Fig. 4. When the dial is set to "1", the jig
saw operates at the minimum speed (800 /min). When the dial set to "5", the jig saw operates
at the maximum speed (2,800 /min). Adjust the speed according to the material to be cut and
working effi ciency.
<About Operation mode>
The tool is equipped with two modes: "Standard Mode" and "AUTO Mode".
(1) Standard Mode
You can change the blade operating speed between 800 to 2,800 /min by adjusting the dial
from "1" to "5".
(2) AUTO Mode
Depending on the workload, AUTO Mode "A" will automatically change the blade operating
speed to 1,400 /min or 2,800 /min. This has the eff ect of lowering vibration and noise prior to
and during operation.
Adjust the dial for the mode and speed that best suits your task conditions and materials.

At low speed (dial setting: 1 or 2) do not cut a wood with a thickness of more than
5/16" (8 mm) or metal with a thickness of more than 1/32" (1 mm).
