Electronic Overload Protection
(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)
These tools are equipped with an electronic over-
load protection feature.
If the motor shuts off during use, remove the bit
from the workpiece and push the On/Off switch
to the "O" position for three (3) seconds. This will
reset the electronics in the tool. The tool can then
be restarted.
Using the Variable Speed Dial
(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)
The variable speed dial allows the user to adjust
the rotating speed (RPM) of the tool.
Variable speed dial settings range from numbers (7)
seven through (1) one. Higher numbers correspond
to higher speeds and lower number correspond to
lower speeds.
To change the speed, set the variable speed control
dial to the desired number. Soft Start
(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)
The Soft-Start feature reduces the amount of torque
reaction to the tool and the user. This feature gradu-
ally increases the motor speed up from zero to the
speed set by the variable speed dial.
Feedback Control
(For Cat. No. 5616-20 and 5625-20 only)
The electronic speed control system allows the tool
to maintain constant speed between no-load and
load conditions.
