Operation - Makita 4324 Bedienungsanleitung

Speed adjusting dial
Fig.3
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 500
and 3,100 strokes per minute by turning the adjusting
dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
the direction of number 6; lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.

CAUTION:
If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds
•
for a long time, the motor will get overloaded and
heated up.
The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far

as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or
the speed adjusting function may no longer work.

tightening of the blade may cause blade breakage
or serious personal injury.
To install the blade, loosen the bolt counterclockwise on
the blade holder with the hex wrench.
With the blade teeth facing forward, insert the blade into
the blade holder as far as it will go. Make sure that the
back edge of the blade fits into the roller. Then tighten

the tool with the dust cover lowered.
Lower the dust cover to prevent chips from flying.
However, when making bevel cuts, raise it all the way.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always hold the base flush with the workpiece.
•
Failure to do so may cause blade breakage,
resulting in a serious injury.
Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves
•
or scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause a slanted
cutting surface and blade breakage.
Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact
and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the
base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool
forward along the previously marked cutting line.
