Plunge Cutting - Porter Cable 543 Manual De Instrucciones

BLADE ORBIT
You can vary the blade orbit varied by turning the knob (A) Fig. 6 to any of
four positions indicated by the numbers "0" through "3", with "0" producing
no orbit and "3" producing maximum orbit. You can adjust the orbit with or
without the motor running. Move the knob (A) Fig. 6 to the detent in the housing
corresponding to the number on the housing. In Fig. 6 the knob is shown in
position "0". The straight up and down position would be setting "3". Use orbit
setting "0" for metal cutting.
Use of higher orbit settings when performing intricate scroll cuts may cause
blade breakage. Use lower orbit settings for scrolling. Orbit position "0" will
produce the most accurate cuts with less splintering and the longest blade life.
CHIP BLOWER
This saw is equipped with a chip blower to keep the cutting area free of chips.
Use knob (B) Fig. 6 to turn the chip blower "ON" and "OFF". The knob is shown
in the "OFF" position. To turn the chip blower "ON", turn the knob counter-
clockwise until it stops.

PLUNGE CUTTING

with all exposed metal on the tool
to prevent electrical shock hazard
resulting from accidentally cutting
into a live wire. HOLD the SAW AS
ILLUSTRATED IN (Fig. 7).
With this said, you can start the cut (in
wood only) without drilling first. This
is especially important when making
cutouts for electrical outlets in finished
walls, openings in cabinet tops for sinks
and openings for plumbing fixtures.
NOTE: When plunge cutting, set the orbit knob to position "3".
Measure the area to be cut and mark it clearly with a pencil, chalk, or scriber.
