in distance between the
new measurement and
the original measurement
will be equivalent
the depth of cut. Use
the micrometer
adjustment (6) for precise

The tool cuts quicker and smoother at
different speeds when working in different
woods or in plastic or aluminium.
2. Turn the dial to a higher number for faster
speed, turn the dial to a lower number to
reduce the speed.
3. Determine the optimum speed by making
a trial cut in a scrap piece of material
NOTE. Using the correct speed for the job
increases the life of the bit

Switching on and off
