15. About the mode select function
Each time the mode selector switch is pushed, the
operation mode changes.
When the High Torque mode is selected, the mode
selector lamp lights up.
The High Torque mode reduces maximum motor
RPM enabling efficient work.
If the load increases while the motor is operating in
the Auto Switch mode, it automatically changes to the
High Torque mode.
Additionally, if the load decreases again, it
automatically returns to the Auto Switch mode.
In the High Torque mode, it does not change to the
Auto Switch mode even when the load decreases.
