Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the speed
adjusting dial. You can get the highest speed at 5 and
the lowest speed at 1.
► Fig.6: 1. Speed adjusting dial
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the jig saw blade will be
reduced.

NOTICE:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned

Electronic function
The tool is equipped with the electronic functions for
easy operation.
Soft start
The soft-start function minimizes start-up shock, and
makes the tool start smoothly.
Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the tool speed is
kept constant even under load condition.
Soft no-load rotation function
To reduce the vibration and align the jig saw blade with
the cutting line easily, the tool automatically reduces
the tool speed until the tool starts cutting the workpiece
when the speed adjusting dial is set at 2 or higher. Once
the tool starts cutting the workpiece, the tool speed
reaches the preset speed and keeps the speed until the
tool stops.
NOTE: When the temperature is low, this function
may not be available. Also, depending on the mate-
rial, jig saw blade, and tool speed, this feature may
not be available.
