[. . . ] It is recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and apron. J Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running. J Do not pierce the motor housing as this could damage the double insulation (use adhesives). J Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine. [. . . ] The pendulum stroke can be adjusted by the pendulum stroke control and thus adapted to different kinds of material. Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine. Support roller and push it firmly into the plunger as far as it will go; the lug of the saw blade must be in the plunger (see illustration). Release the tension lever and the saw ); the slot in the plunger must always be at an angle to the saw blade (see illustration below). When fixing the saw blade it might be in a slightly sloping position. Fit the saw blade into the groove in the In the interest of continuous improvement of our products, technical specifications are subject to alteration without prior notice. The base plate can be tilted or moved backward or forward. Setting an angle Loosen the fixing screw, pull the base plate out of the mounting, set it at the required angle (15o, 30o, 45o), push it back into the mounting and tighten the fixing screw again. Angles other than 45o can be set by not pushing the base plate back into the mounting. For very exact angle cuts it is recommended to make a test cut. Loosen the fixing screw, push the base plate to the rear and tighten the fixing screw again. The base plate in this position is fixed at the 0o setting. For cutting a hole with a Moving back short saw blade and sawing near the edge. Take the fixing screw out, push the base plate to the rear and screw the fixing screw tightly into the rear hole. In this position the base plate can also be off-set in longitudinal direction. Push in and turn the suction hose into the suction 2. Push the transparent cover downwards to ensure The anti-splintering device almost entirely prevents the edge of the wood from splintering. Place the anti-splintering device as shown in the illustration with the smooth side downwards and flush with the base plate (this is only possible with the base plate in the forward position). The letters A to G are printed on the speed control, meaning: A = lowest stroke rate G = highest stroke rate ENGLISH 3 STEP 570 X, STEP 600 X The stroke-rate (= movements per minute of the saw blade) can be infinitely varied by means of the adjustment wheel. The stroke rate appropriate to the material being worked on can be taken from the following table, and the corresponding letter shown on the setting wheel. By adjusting the pendulum action the cutting depth of the saw blade teeth is increased or decreased. As a rule of thumb: Soft material Hard material Clean cut surface Large pendulum stroke Small or no pendulum stroke No pendulum stroke The appropriate degree of pendulum effect can be taken from the following chart and compared with the marking at the pendulum stroke lever. [. . . ] Further accessories with part numbers are shown in our catalogues. In order to guarantee constant readiness for operation, the machine should be checked for worn carbon brushes at one of the AEG after­sales service agencies. Use only AEG accessories and spare parts. Should components need to be replaced which have not been described, please contact one of our AEG service agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses). [. . . ]
