VARIABLE SPEED SELECTOR
The variable speed selector dial is used to control the speed at
which the saw operates. This is known as the blade stroke rate. To
pre-select the required blade stroke rate, turn the selector
dial to the relevant number. A low number gives a low stroke rate
and a high number gives a high stroke rate. The stroke rate should
be adjusted according to the material being cut. The table below
shows some recommended settings. It should only be used as a
guide. Make a test cut on a scrap of material to ensure that the
correct stroke rate has been selected.
Material Setting
Wood 5 - 6
Metal 2 - 3
Aluminium 3 - 5
PVC 3 - 4
