TO SET VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH
Select right speed for each material like plastic, wood and metal by turning the Variable speed
switch to set from 1 to 6 Grades (Please see above picture).
Following are the recommended cutting speed for different materials and Maximum thickness for
cutting:
Material to be Cut
Speed Grade Maximum Material Thickness (mm)
PLASTIC CUTTING: Grade 1-4 25 mm
STEEL CUTTING: Grade 4-6 5 mm (and 3mm wall thick steel tube)
WOOD CUTTING: Grade 5-6 25 mm
ALUMINUM CUTTING: Grade 5-6 5 mm
STONE & TILE CUTTING: Grade 6 20 mm
Note: If the user feels the machine is not powerful enough to use the recommended cutting speed,
because the material properties are different, some harder, some softer and the material thickness
are different; the user can slightly increase the cutting speed around the recommended speed range.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Protect saw blades against impact and shock.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting direction. Excessive feed significantly
reduces the service life of the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.
Sawing performance and cutting quality depend essentially on the condition and the tooth form of
the saw blade. Therefore, use only sharp saw blades that are suited for the material to be worked.
SAWING MATERIAL
The correct selection of the saw blade depends on the type and quality of the wood and whether
length way or crossway cuts are required. When cutting spruce length ways, long spiral chips are
formed. Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental to health. Therefore, work only with dust
extraction.
