6. Operation
6.1 On/Off switch (Fig. 10/Item 2+3)
Switching on:
Press the locking button (2) and the On/Off switch
(3).
Infi nitely variable stroke speed control is possible
with the On/Off switch (3). The further you push
the switch, the higher the stroke speed.
Switching off :
Release the locking button (2) and the On/Off
switch (3).
6.2 Setting the pendulum action (Fig. 11/Item
7)
•
The strength of the pendulum action of the
saw blade (10) can be adjusted using the
selector switch for pendulum action (7).
•
You can adjust the cutting speed, cutting
performance and appearance of the cut to the
workpiece you want to saw.
Set the selector switch for pendulum action (7) to
one of the following positions:
Position A = No pendulum action
Material: Rubber, ceramic, aluminium, steel
Please note: For fi ne clean cuts, thin materials
(e.g. sheet steel) and hard materials.
Position B = Small pendulum action
Material: Plastic, wood, aluminium
Please note: For hard materials
Position C = Medium pendulum action
Material: Wood
Position D = Large pendulum action
Material: Wood
Please note: For soft materials and sawing along
the grain
The best combination of speed and pendulum
action depends on the material you want to saw.
We recommend you to make a trial cut on a waste
piece in order to check the ideal settings.
6.3 Making cuts
Caution!
•
Make sure that the On/Off switch (3) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
