SPEED SETTING(G)
The speed regulator allows variation of the motor speed between 2000 and
5000 /min.
The cutting speed should be adjusted for the respective materials.
Turn the speed regulator towards 1 to reduce the motor speed; turn the adjusting
wheel towards 6 to increase the speed.
The respective motor speed depends on type and thickness of the work piece.
Observe directions below for cutting materials with the appropriate speed:
Speed range 1 – 3:
Gypsum fiberboard, plastics (soft)
Speed range 4 – 5:
Plastics (hard), fiber-reinforced plastics (GRP), paper and fabrics, particle and
hard boards, acrylic glass (Perspex)
Speed range 5 – 6:
Solid wood (hard, soft), plywood, core boards, veneered and coated boards,
plastic-coated boards, MDF boards
Notes: At higher speed settings you cut the material faster, but this reduces the
life cycle of the saw blade.
Reduce the speed for clean cuts in heat-sensitive and soft materials.
Do not use the speed regulation to use saw blades for lower nominal speed.
Only use saw blades with a minimum speed of 6000 rpm.
DETERMINE CUTTING LINE
Two cutting lines are marked on the base plate (6) of the Plunge Saw.
1. Align position A (0 mark on base plate) at the front of the base plate with
your marked cutting line when using the saw without track for straight cuts.
For 45° mitre cuts align position B (45 mark on base plate) at the front of the
base plate with your marked cutting line. (F)
2. When using the saw with track always align position A (0 mark on base
plate) at the front of the base plate with your marked cutting line for straight
cuts and 45° mitre cuts.
