packaging).
f Check all the parts for possible transport damage.
f Oil the blade set (Fig. 6).
Checking/adjusting the blade amplitude
The blade amplitude is set at the optimum setting
ex-factory. However, the blade amplitude can change
as a result of voltage fluctuations. For lower voltage
the blade amplitude can be smaller and for higher
voltage bigger. If necessary, by changing the setting
of the adjusting screw (F), you can adjust the blade
amplitude yourself. Use a screw driver to do this.
1. Using the on/off switch, switch on the appliance
(Fig. 2ⓐ).
2. Turn the adjusting screw (F in a clockwise direction
until you hear a loud noise (Fig. 3ⓑ).
3. Then turn the adjusting screw anti-clockwise until
the loud noise stops (Fig. 3ⓐ).
