To get the most out of the versatility of this saw the operator has to adjust the loading springs - pos. 3/R10595 - along
their slot
–1/RI0595- depending on the cut requirements :
- positioned in the upper part of the slot means more down-feed pressure and therefore more penetration of the blade
into the material (the sawframe will be heavier to lift)
- positioned in the lower part of the slot it works like a normal manual machine, allowing the user to lower/raise the
sawframe easily
- the middle position is a compromise between downfeed force and easy handling. Normally this is the standard position
To move the springs easily along the slot it is advisable to do the following (with power on, blade speed = 0):
-unlock the screw
–2/RI0595- ,lower the sawframe manually so that the springs move up, and lock the same
screw again
or
-unlock the screw
–2/RI0595- , raise the sawframe manually to move the springs down and lock the same screw
again.
At the end of the cut the user has to lift the sawframe manually.
