The stroke-rate (= movements per minute

of the saw blade) can be infinitely varied

by means of the adjustment wheel.

The letters A to G are printed on the speed

control, meaning:

A = lowest stroke rate

G = highest stroke rate

The stroke rate appropriate to the material

being worked on can be taken from the

following table, and the corresponding

letter shown on the setting wheel.

Material Stroke rate

Wood G

Steel D-E

Aluminium D-E

Rubber A-C

By adjusting the pendulum action the cutting depth of the saw blade teeth is

increased or decreased. As a rule of thumb:

Soft material Large pendulum stroke

Hard material Small or no pendulum stroke

Clean cut surface No pendulum stroke

The appropriate degree of pendulum effect can be taken from the following chart

and compared with the marking at the pendulum stroke lever.

Material Degree of swing action

Wood I - III

Plastic I

Aluminium 0 - I

Steel 0

Ceramics 0

Rubber 0

The stroke rate shown in the chart is only

a suggestion for your general guidance!

The stroke rate can be set on the stroke

rate control even while the motor is

running.

Only operate the machine with suitable

sawdust removal.

The integrated suction channel has the

standardized internal diameter of 30 mm.

Use the suction hose (Id. No.

4932 3304 12) from our range of

accessories to connect it to a household

vacuum cleaner or to an wet-and-dry

vacuum cleaner.

1. Push in and turn the suction hose into the

suction channel until it fits firmly.

2. Push the transparent cover downwards to

ensure optimum sawdust removal.
