Generally, the thinner and cleaner the cutting edge should be, the smaller the pitch of
the selected pendulum should be or turn off the pendulum action.
- To work with thin materials such as sheet metal, turn off the pendulum action
(step 0).
- On hard material such as steel, work with a small pendulum action.
- On materials such as softwood and cutting in the direction of the grain, the large
pendulum action can be used.
Cutoff frequency selection
With the thumbwheel, the required cut-off frequency can be selected (also in operation).
•
MIN - 2 = Low frequency
•
3 - 4 = Average frequency
•
5 - MAX = High frequency
The required cutting speed depends on the material and working conditions: fast enough
to make reasonable progress, but slow enough to maintain a clean cut and avoid
stressing the machine.
Generally, thinner saw blades use a higher speed, thicker saw blades use a slower
speed.
After working for longer periods at low stroke speed, allow the machine to cool down by
running it at maximum stroke speed and no load for approximately 3 minutes.
