3. Retighten the blade guide lock handle.

CUTTING SPEED
The cutting speed always depends on the material being cut. To select
the most suitable speed, turn the control knob (Fig. F - 1) to increase
or decrease the speed, with 125 FPM as the lowest setting and 260
FPM the highest.
For common steel, use a speed between 125 and 180 FPM.
For aluminum or alloy, use the maximum speed of 260 FPM.
For pipes, use a speed between 220 and 260 FPM.
