Adjusting the orbital stroke rate

► 1. Dial
The orbital stroke rate is adjustable. To change the
orbital stroke rate, turn the dial between 1 and 6. The
higher the number is, the higher the orbital stroke
rate is. Preset the dial to the number suitable for your
workpiece.
NOTE:
• The dial cannot be turned directly from 1 to 6 or
from 6 to 1. Forcing the dial may damage the
tool. When changing the dial direction, always
turn the dial moving it through each intermediate
number.
