D. Setting the Work Stop
The Work Stop may be used so that pieces of equal length may be cut, without
having to measure each individual piece.
With the workpiece set in the vice at the desired position, and firmly held in
place, slacken off the grubscrew and bring the work stop up to the work, then
retighten the grub screw, It is now a simple matter, once the first cut has been
made, to open the vice jaws, slide the workpiece out until it touches the work
stop and retightening the vice jaws ready for the next cut.
E. Setting the Cutting Speed
The saw blade is driven by an electric
motor via a drive belt and a pulley
system,, shown in Fig. 10.
Four steps are provided, and by
positioning the belt according to the
chart below, four saw band speeds
may be selected.
The chart is duplicated within the pulley
cover.

Cutting speeds vary according to the type, size and shape of material being cut.
Generally, the harder the material, the slower the speed, and the following may
be used as a guide in order to determine the cutting speed for the material being
cut.
MATERIAL RECOMMENDED CUTTING SPEED M/min
Aluminium 98
Brass Sheet/Tubing 59-98
Carbon Steel 34-41
Cast Iron 34
High Speed Steel 34

NOTE: It is important that the microswitch within the cover (arrowed in Fig.10)
operates correctly. When closing the cover ensure it is heard to ‘click’.
