Makita 4350T Manuel D'instruction page 5

The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 800
and 2,800 strokes per minute by turning the adjusting
dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
the direction of number 5; lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.

CAUTION:
• 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.
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.

diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
