ENGLISH
The stroke rate appropriate to the material being worked on can be taken from the
following table, and the corresponding letter shown on the setting wheel.
Material Stroke rate
Wood G
Steel D-E
Aluminium D-E
Rubber A-C
Intermittent use
Switching on: Press On-/off switch
Switching off: Release On-/off switch
Continuous use
Switching on: Press the On-/off switch and
then the locking button, after that release
on-off switch.
Switching off: Press the On-/off switch and
then release.
By adjusting the pendulum action the cutting depth of the saw blade teeth is
increased or decreased. As a rule of thumb:
Soft material
Hard material
Clean cut surface
The appropriate degree of pendulum effect can be taken from the following chart
and compared with the marking at the pendulum stroke lever.
Material Degree of swing action
Wood I - III
Plastic I
Aluminium 0 - I
Steel 0
Ceramics 0
Rubber 0
The stroke rate shown in the chart is only
a suggestion for your general guidance!
The stroke rate can be set on the stroke rate control even while the motor is
running.
1.
Set the stroke and pendulum stroke according to the material to be cut.
2.
Position the machine with the front part of the base plate on the material, and
switch on.
3.
Press the machine downwards onto the material and guide it along the cutting line.
Do not press down too hard on the piece you are cutting. Light pressure on the saw
blade is sufficient to achieve the optimum rate of sawing.
When cutting along a score line, use the marking on the anti-splintering device as an
optical guide.
To obtain a perfectly straight cut, clamp a strip of wood as a guide along the material
or use the parallel guide (accessory).
For cutting at an angle, or cutting a bevel, adjust the base plate.
For sawing close to the edge, set the base plate at its rearmost position.
