ADJUSTING
THE
CUTTING
SPEED
WITH
THE VARIABLE
SPEED
DIAL
(Fig.
1.1 and
1 la)
The
variable
speed
feature
of this
saw
allows
you
to match
the
proper
cutting
speed
to the
material
being
cut,
enhancing
the
overall
performance
of your
saw
and
helping
to save
the
blades
from
undue
wear.
The
speeds
can
be adjusted
from
800
to 3000
SPM
(strokes
per
minute)
no-load
speed,
by adjusting
the
variable
speed
dial
located
on top
of the
trigger
switch
handle.
The
speed
dial
is numbered
"1" through
"6",
with
number
"1" the
slowest
speed
and
number
"6" the
fastest
speed
(see
Fig.
11 and
11 a).
The
proper
blade
speed
will
differ
depending
on the
type
and
thickness
of the
workpiece
and
whether
you
are
straight
cutting
or following
an intricate
scroll
pattern.
As
a general
rule,
slower
speeds
are
for
denser
materials
and
faster
speeds
are
for
soft
materials.
High
speeds
will
allow
you
to cut
workpieces
faster,
but
blade
life will
be reduced.
The
following
chart
can
help
you
pick
the
proper
speed.
Remember
to ALWAYS
use
the
proper
cutting
blade
for
the
cutting
application
and
the
material
you
are
cutting.
