Electronic function

The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
Constant speed control
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under the loaded condition.
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
Selecting the action mode
Use the change knob to change the rotation mode.
NOTICE:
Always turn the knob fully. If the knob is in
the middle position, you can not turn on the tool.
NOTE: You can not change the action mode when the
tool is switched on.
