Balancing
Action
Control
The balancing action varies the saw glade cutting angle to
increase the cut efficiency. This can also be adjusted while
no-load operation. To see more details, see the balancing
action selection table. Do not use excessive force on the
saw blade when cutting with balancing action. The saw
blade only cuts when going upwards.
Balancing Action Control
To make bevel cuts adjust the cutting angle in the base
plate.
• Release the angle blocking lever (
A
).
• Once the adjustment lever is free, push the baseplate to
the front to release the locking system and turn it to the
desired angle, matching the guide with the graduated
marks (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°) (
B
).
• When making cuts with non-established angles use a
protractor or a graded circle.
• Secure the base plate into the desired angle tightening
strongly the blocking angle. The marks in the angles in the
base plate are accurate for most of the needs, but
checking the angle with a protractor and making a trial cut
on a piece of scrap wood is recommended.
Cutting Angle Adjust
• If the tool is overheated in excess, especially when
working in low speeds, set speed to the maximum and let
it run with no load during 2 or 3 minutes to cool down the
motor.
• Avoid prolonged use in low speeds.
• For an easier begin cutting in low speed at the beginning
of the cut and then increase to the right speed.
• The saw blade cuts when traveling upwards and can chip
the upper side of the work piece. Use care the upper
surface is not visible when finishing the job.
• Occasionally, sparks can be observed though the
ventilation slots. It is normal and does not damage the
tool.
