Electronic function 

The tool equipped with electronic function are easy to 
operate because of the following features. 

Constant speed control 

Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed. 
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is 
kept constant even under load condition. 

Soft start 

Soft-start feature minimizes start-up shock, and makes 
the tool start smoothly. 

Speed adjusting dial

011835 

The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed 
adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6. 
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the 
direction of number 6. And lower speed is obtained when it 
is turned in the direction of number 1. 
This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum 
material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly 
adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter. 
Refer to the table for the relationship between the number 
settings on the dial and the approximate tool speed.
