 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.
