○ In Standard Mode, the circumferential speed or
the band saw blade can be freely set from 1 to 5
on the dial.
On the dial, 1 is the lowest speed and 5 is the
highest speed.
In Standard Mode, the circumferential speed that
is set with the dial is maintained even when the
load changes.
○ In AUTO Mode ("A" on the dial), noise can be
reduced and the duration of operation can be
extended by lowing the circumferential speed
when there is no load.
In AUTO Mode, if a load is applied during operation,
the circumferential speed is automatically
increased. (Equivalent of 5 on the dial)
Additionally, if the load becomes lighter after
cutting is completed, the circumferential speed
is automatically decreased, reducing power
consumption when there is no load.

● Verify that there are no nicks, cracks, or other
abnormalities on the band saw blade before
installing it.
● Wipe off any oil or grime adhering to the band
saw blade before installing it on the blade
pulleys.
Additionally, wipe off any shavings or grime
adhering to the blade pulley rubbers.
If a band saw blade that has oil or grime adhering
to it is installed on the blade pulleys, the band
saw blade may slip or come loose.
● When installing the band saw blade, do not twist
or bend its joint.
Doing so may damage the band saw blade.
