English
When cutting stainless steel plates, adjust the unit as described below:
1. Adjust the speed
Blade | Thickness of material | Dial Scale |
|
| Middle groove position |
No. 97 | 1.5 – 2.5 mm | between scales “2” |
|
| and “3” |
|
|
|
NOTE:
Dial scale reading is for reference only. The higher the speed is, the quicker the material is cut. But the service life of the blade will be reduced in this case. When the speed is too low, cutting will take longer, although the service life will be prolonged. Make adjustments as desired.
2.Set the orbital position to “0” NOTE:
When cutting use cutting fluid (oil base cutting fluid) to prolong the blade’s service life.
SELECTION OF BLADES
Accessory blades
To ensure maximum operating efficiency and results, it is very important to select the appropriate blade best suited to the type and thickness of the material to be cut. Three types of blades are provided as standard accessories. The blade number is engraved in the vicinity of the mounting portion of each blade. Select appropriate blades by referring to Table 1.
HOUSING THE HEXAGONAL BAR WRENCH
It is possible to house the hexagonal bar wrench on the base. (See Fig. 16)
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1.Inspecting the blade
Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will result in reduced cutting efficiency and may cause overloading of the motor. Replace the blade with a new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
2.Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.
3.Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
