How does the speed adjusting dial work on models 9564PCV and 9565PCV?

• The rotating speed can be changed by turning the speed adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 5.
• Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 5, and lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1.

The relationship between the number settings on the dial and the approximate rotating speed is as follows:

• 1: 2,800 R.P.M.
• 2: 4,000 R.P.M.
• 3: 6,500 R.P.M.
• 4: 9,000 R.P.M.
• 5: 10,500 R.P.M.

Cautions:

• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, the motor will get overloaded and heated up.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work.

---

What are the electronic functions of the tool?

• Constant speed control: Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constantly even under the loaded condition.
• When the load on the tool exceeds admissible levels, power to the motor is reduced to protect the motor from overheating. When the load returns to admissible levels, the tool will operate as normal.
• Soft start feature: Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.

---

How to install the side grip (handle)?

• Always be sure that the side grip is installed securely before operation.
• Screw the side grip securely on the position of the tool as shown in the figure.
