SETTING THE SPEED MODE (FIG. 20)
Your tool is equipped with a speed control
panel, located at the top of the rear end of the
handle. It consists of the speed preset button,
"A" button, and 5 LED indicators. You can use
the buttons to select one of the 5 speed presets
(or modes) based on the material to be cut.
To select the speed preset:
a. First, check the active speed preset, there are
two ways to do so:
–
one way is to turn the On/Off switch ON and
then OFF.
–
the other way is to press the speed preset
button or the "A" button without touching the
On/Off switch.
–
In either case, the LED indicator above the
active speed preset will light up.
b. Press the speed preset button to cycle
through the presets 1, 2, 3, and 4 until the
desired preset is activated.
See more details in the table below.
To select the "A" mode:
Press the "A" button to activate the "A" preset.
The next time the tool is turned on, it will
automatically reduce the no-load speed to
reduce the vibration. Once the tool engages
the workpiece, the speed will reach the highest
level. This makes it is easy to position the tool at
the beginning of the cut.
c. First, check the active speed preset by
following the step a above.
d. Press the "A" button to select automatic speed
preset, after which all of 5 LED indicators will
light up. See more details in the table below.
NOTE: Your tool is equipped with a memory
function of speed setting. It will revert to the last
used speed preset when turned on again.
The table below shows the relationship between
speed preset, speed and the number of LED
indicators that are lit on the speed control panel.
Refer to this table to choose appropriate speed
depending on the material to be cut.
