Selecting Speed
Use lower speeds for materials such as plastics and
laminates. Also, use lower speeds for hard metals.
Use higher speeds for materials such as wood and
soft metals (aluminum, copper, brass, etc.).
(Cat. No. 2737-20)
To vary the speed, increase or decrease pressure
on the trigger.
The further the trigger is pulled, the
greater the speed.
(Cat. No. 2737B-20)
Rotate the speed selector dial to the desired speed
(1 through 6). Select "A" for Auto-Controlled Start to
start out at 1500 SPM and ramps up to 3500 SPM
once the workpiece is contacted.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, wear a
dust mask or use an OSHA compli-
ant dust extraction solution when working in
dusty situations.

Adjusting the Orbital Action
The amount of orbital action may
be adjusted with the orbital ac
-
tion selector lever. In general, a
large orbital action (3) should be
used with soft materials and a no
orbital action (0) should be used
with hard materials. When a
smooth cut is required, no orbit
(0) should be used.
