• The stroke rate should be high enough to make smooth cuts in the
material.
• When sawing hard materials, you should select a lower stroke rate
and a saw blade with fine toothing.
• When sawing soft materials, you should select a higher stroke rate
and a saw blade with coarser teeth.
• The motor could overheat when cutting at the lowest stroke rate for a
prolonged period of time. For this reason, take frequent work breaks
of approx. 15 minutes so that the motor can cool down.
Setting the pendulum stroke
You can adjust the cutting speed, cutting performance and cutting pattern to the
workpiece to be machined.
The pendulum stroke adjustment

allows you to adjust how strongly the saw
blade’s

pendulum moves for the stroke.
− Set the pendulum stroke adjustment to one of the following positions:
•
Position 0
= no pendulum movement
•
Material
: Aluminium, steel
•
Notice
: For fine and cleanly cut edges, thin materials (e.g. as sheets) and hard
materials.
•
Position 1
= small pendulum movement
•
Material
: Plastics, wood, aluminium
•
Notice
: For hard materials
•
Position 2
= mid-size pendulum movement
•
Material
: Wood
•
Position 3
= large pendulum movement
•
Material
: Wood
•
Notice
: For soft materials and sawing in the direction of the grain
