This is Jon on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip I will be talking about the free hand speed control. Our trigger switch is designed with the free hand speed control meaning that the further the trigger is depressed, the higher the strokes per minute and strokes per minute meaning how many strokes the blade takes every minute. If I squeeze the trigger a small amount, we have a speed that is given. If I squeeze the trigger all the way, it is giving much more speed. What I am going to do is slowly depress the trigger and increase speed. You can tell both by sight and by sound that it is increasing speed.
