which will reduce the stresses that occur from
a high torque start. The system also helps to
maximize motor and battery performance by
cutting the voltage to the tool when stall
conditions (see pg. 13) occur. The motor and

voltage to the motor in these situations.
VARIABLE SPEED SLIDE SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
slide switch. The speed may be adjusted
during operation by sliding the switch back or
forth between any one of the settings.
You can refer to the charts on page 20, 21,

charts enable you to select both the
correct accessory and the optimum speed
at a glance.
