speed control
Fig. 5
The speed of the saw can be controlled with the rotary knob at the top of the jigsaw. The
higher the position, the higher the speed. The highest position is 6. The ideal sawing
speed will depend on the profile and the tooth of the saw and on the material you want
to saw. For soft materials, select a reasonably high speed and a coarse tooth. If you
want to saw hard materials, select a lower speed and a fine tooth.
