The speed can be adjusted to suit the work piece being
cut. The variable speed dial (1) is located at the top of
the saw for convenient adjustment of the speed.

2. Turn the dial in a clockwise direction for a faster
speed and in an anti-clockwise direction to reduce
the speed.

in a scrap piece of material.
Note. Using the correct speed for the job increases the
life of the saw blade.
