SETTING OPERATION
A Saw runs at reduced speeds until blade
engages workpiece. The saw speed will
increase automatically to provide the most
efficient cut.
1-2 Slow speeds are ideal when minimum speed
and power is required, for example, starting
cuts.
3-4 Medium speeds are suitable for cutting hard
metals, plastics, and laminates.
5-6 Maximum speeds produce best results when
maximum power is required, for example,
cutting wood. Soft metals such as aluminum,
brass, and copper may also require high
speeds.
