Turn the quick clamping device (12) in a clockwise direction.
Push the saw blade (13) up to the catch in the opening of the lifting rod.
The saw blade is automatically held in place by letting go of the lock (12).
Pull on the saw blade to check that it is properly locked.
7.3 Working spot light
Pushing the operating button (2) will turn on the working spot light (14).
Leaving the operating button (2) will switch off the working spot light (14).
7.4 Switching your compass saw on and off
Press the lock-button (1) before actuating the main-switch (2).
Press the main-switch (2) and hold during operation.
Switch the machine on first, and then put it on the work piece.
Do not use excess pressure, or you risk increased wear on the attachment and the motor.
Do not turn the machine off while is it on the work piece. Take the machine off the work piece
first, and then turn it off.
7.5 Speed regulation
The compass saw is equipped with an electronic speed regulator. The speed can be adjusted by
pressing the main switch (2) with more or less pressure..
The most advantageous speed is determined by the material and the saw blade, and can be
determined by practical experiments.
7.6 Oscillation adjustment (6)
The four levels of oscillating motion for the saw blade enable an optimal adjustment of the cutting
speed, cutting power and cutting pattern to the material being worked on.
With every downward movement, the saw blade is raised from the work piece; this helps chip
ejection, reduces frictional heat and lengthens the lifespan of the saw blade.
The smaller the oscillation level selected, the cleaner the cutting surface should be.
