2. Control de velocitat variable
The variable speed dial allows you to adjust the cutting speed (0-3000 SPM) to match the material and application. Higher speeds are generally suitable for softer materials like wood, while lower speeds are recommended for harder materials like metal or plastics.
- Rotate the speed dial to increase or decrease the blade strokes per minute.
- Always start with a lower speed and gradually increase it as needed.
3. 4-Stage Orbital Function
The orbital action controls the forward motion of the blade, affecting cutting aggressiveness and speed. There are four settings:
- Configuració 0 (Sense acció orbital): For fine, precise cuts in all materials, especially metal and hard plastics.
- Configuració 1-3 (Incrementasing Acció Orbital): For faster, more aggressive cuts in wood and softer materials. Higher settings remove material more quickly but may result in a rougher cut.
Adjust the orbital selector lever to the desired setting based on the material and desired cut quality.
4. Dust Blower Switch
Activate the dust blower switch to clear sawdust from the cutting line, providing a clear view for improved accuracy.
- Turn the dust blower ON for better visibility during cutting.
