6. Pendulum action switch adjustment
(Fig. 6)
The adjustable 4-stage pendulum action makes it
possible to adjust the blade penetration on the
upward stroke for the various working materials.
Optimal cutting performance is thereby achieved.
The saw blade is lifted from the workpiece on the
downward stroke. This results in improved chip ejection
while substantially reducing frictional heat and
increasing the life expectancy of the saw blade.
The pendulum action can be adjusted to one of four
stages with pendulum action knob. The setting can be
changed while the machine is operating:
Stage 0: Pendulum action off
Stage 1: Low pendulum action
Stage 2: Moderate pendulum action
Stage 3: High pendulum action
The following should be observed
- The pendulum action should be off when working
with thin materials such as sheet metal.
- If smoothly cut edges are desired in soft material,
select low stage or shut off pendulum action.
- Use low pendulum action when working with hard
materials such as steel.
- Use high pendulum action when working with most
soft materials such as wood and plastic.
The optimum setting can be determined in practical
trials on scrap material.
