Speed change
NOTICE:
Use the speed change knob only after
the tool comes to a complete stop.
Changing the
tool speed before the tool stops may damage the tool.
NOTICE:
Always set the speed change knob
carefully into the correct position. If you operate
the tool with the speed change knob positioned half-
way between the position 1 and the position 2, the
tool may be damaged.
Two speed ranges can be preselected with the speed
change knob.
To change the speed, depress the lock button and turn
the speed change knob so that the pointer points to the
position 1 for low speed or the position 2 for high speed.
