ENGLISH
1.
Push in and turn the suction hose into the
suction channel until it fits firmly.
2.
Push the transparent cover downwards to
ensure optimum sawdust removal.
The anti-splintering device almost entirely
prevents the edge of the wood from
splintering.
Place the anti-splintering device as shown
in the illustration with the smooth side
downwards and flush with the base plate
(this is only possible with the base plate in
the forward position).
*Not included in standard equipment,
available as an accessory.
The stroke-rate (= movements per minute
of the saw blade) can be infinitely varied
by means of the adjustment wheel.
The letters A to G are printed on the speed
control, meaning:
A = lowest stroke rate
G = highest stroke rate
The stroke rate appropriate to the material
being worked on can be taken from the
following table, and the corresponding
letter shown on the setting wheel.
Material Stroke rate
Wood G
Steel D-E
Aluminium D-E
Rubber A-C
Intermittent use
Switching on: Press On-/off switch

Hard material
Clean cut surface

Large pendulum stroke
Small or no pendulum stroke
No pendulum stroke
