The required stroke rate can be preselected (also during
operation) using the wheel C.
§
If the tool does not run with wheel C in position 1,
select a higher sawing speed and lower the sawing
speed while the tool runs.
The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and
the working conditions and can be determined by a
practical trial.
After working for longer periods at low stroke rate allow the
machine to cool down by running it at maximum stroke rate
and no-load for approx. 3 minutes.
