Bevel Cutting; Speed Adjustment - Rebel RB-1031 Manual Del Usuario

A low pendulum action usually results in a smooth and clean cut (smooth edges, without
any jaggedness).
A high pendulum action usually results in a coarse and fast cut where the edges of the
workpiece are more jagged.
Position Blade movement
0 No pendulum action.
The blade moves up and
down in a straight line,
allowing a smooth but
unaggressive cut
1 Light pendulum action
2 Medium pendulum action Straight cut (by hand)
3 High pendulum action.
The blade moves in an
elliptical stroke, allowing
a more aggressive cut.
Tip: If you find the pendulum action setting you have selected is cutting the material too
aggressively, you can always change the setting in the middle of the cut.

Bevel cutting

With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at a maximum angle of 45°. To set the required
angle:
• Loosen the two screws at the bottom of the base plate with the included hex wrench.
Move the base plate slightly back so that it can move freely.
• The spaces between the teeth correspond to the angles: 0°, 15°, 35° and 45° on the right
and on the left side of the base plate.
• Slide the base plate to the desired position and then push the base plate forward so that
the lug locks between the teeth.
• Tighten the screws.

Speed adjustment

The speed of the jigsaw may be adjusted depending on how far the ON/OFF switch is
pressed. Light pressure on the ON/OFF switch results in low speed. Further pressure on the
ON/OFF switch increases the speed.
Adjust the speed to the material of the workpiece.
