Adjusting the Cutting Speed Using the Variable-Speed Dial
NOTICE:
Determine the optimum speed for
cutting your workpiece by making a trial cut in
a scrap piece of the same material. Experience
will help you to determine the best results for a
particular application. However, as a rule, use
slower speeds for harder, denser materials,
and faster speeds for softer material.
The variable-speed feature of this jigsaw en-
hances the cutting performance and saves the
blade from undue wear.
Use the variable-speed dial to adjust the speed
of the blade. Turn the dial from setting 1 to set-
ting 6 to increase the speed and from setting 6
to setting 1 to decrease the speed (Fig. 6).
