sPeeD CONTROL

• During operation and whilst the machine is at rest the stroke rate (speed) can be
selected using the thumbwheel (5). The stroke rate will remain constant even under
load.
• The stroke rate required depends upon the material conditions. The optimal setting
should be determined in use.
• After working for longer periods at low speed you should allow the machine to cool
down by running it at maximum speed with no-load for approx. 3 minutes.

Fig.C
• To allow the foot plate to follow and securely rest on the workpiece, the angle of the
footplate can be adjusted as shown in the diagram.
• The footplate can also be extended by loosening the two footplate length adjustment
screws using the 4 mm hexagon key and then pulling the footplate out to the
required length.

sAWINg TIPs
• Adjust saw blade and stroke rate to suit the material to be processed. For right
radius curves it is best to use a narrow saw blade. Apply coolant or lubricant to deal
with the beat produced along the cut line when sawing metal.
• Check wood, chip boards, building materials etc, for foreign bodies (nails, screws
etc.), before sawing and remove them, if necessary.
• Clamp material well. Do not support the workpiece with hand or foot. Do not touch
objects or the floor with the saw running (danger of backlash).
• Material containing asbestos must not be sawn!
• Put the footplate on the surface of the workpiece, and saw through it with constant
