VARIABLE SPEED

This saw is equipped with a variable speed control switch. The speed range is 0 to 2200 SPM. The speed is adjusted by squeezing the switch trigger. The more the switch trigger is squeezed the higher the speed.

Use higher speed for fast cutting when finish and accuracy are not critical. Use slower speed when accuracy and finish are critical or for delicate materials.

BLADE ORBIT

The blade orbit may be varied by turning knob (A), Fig. 6, to any of four positions indicated by the numbers “0” through “3”, with “0” producing no orbit and “3” producing maximum orbit. The orbit may be adjusted with or without the motor running. Move knob (A), Fig. 6, to the detent in the housing corresponding to the number on the housing. The knob is shown in the vertical position “3”. The horizontal position would be setting “0”. Metal cutting should be performed in orbit setting “0”.

Use of higher orbit settings when performing intricate scroll cuts may cause blade breakage. The lower orbit settings are recommended for scrolling. Orbit position “0” will produce the most accurate cuts with less splintering and the longest blade life.

CHIP BLOWER

This saw is equipped with a chip blower to keep the cutting area free of chips. Use knob (B), Fig. 6, to turn the chip blower on and off. The knob is shown in the “ON” position, to turn the chip blower “OFF” turn the knob clockwise until it stops.

PLUNGE CUTTING
