speed can be adjusted by the angle to which the lever is
tilted.

adjusted using the ROTATION control switch on the front
of the lever. By pressing the top part of the ROTATION
control switch, the roll unit rotates clockwise; by pressing
the bottom part, it rotates counterclockwise. The speed of
the rotation changes in accordance with the amount of
pressure applied.
