such as nails or screws etc.
Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure
that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that the
machine s moving parts run smoothly.
Before you connect the machine to the power
supply, make sure the data on the rating plate is
the same as that for your mains.
5.2 Mounting the saw on a workbench
1.
It is better to mount the saw on a solid wood
workbench rather than on a weak plywood stand
where vibrations and noise are certain to be a
nuisance.
2.
The tools and hardware needed to mount the
saw on a work bench are not supplied with the
saw. Be sure to use equipment of at least the
following size:

3. Use the provided assembly holes (23) to
assemble the device. Do not tighten the screws
too strongly. Leave sufficient play for the rubber
feet (24) to be able to absorb properly.
5.3 Assembly
Caution! Pull out the power plug before carrying out
any maintenance and conversion work on your
fretsaw.
5.3.1 Fitting the saw blade guard (Fig. 3/4)
Fit the saw blade guard (11) using the Allen
screw (a) and the nut (b), as shown in Fig. 3.
Lock the saw blade guard (11) in position with the
holding screw (12), as shown in Fig. 4.
5.3.2 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 7/9)
Unlock the saw blade guard (11) as described in
5.3.1. Swing the saw blade guard (11) towards
the back. Pull the saw blade clamping lever (16)
up in order to release the tension from the saw
blade (20).
Undo the Allen screw (c) on the top saw blade
holder (17). Open the inspection flap (18). Undo
the Allen screw (d) on the bottom saw blade
holder (19). Pull the saw blade (20) out through
the table insert (15).
Fit the new saw blade by following the above
instructions in reverse.
The universal saw blade holders (17/19) permit
the use of both fretsaw blades and coping saw
blades.
Important! Always fit the saw blade with the
teeth facing in the direction of the sawing table
(14)!
5.3.3 Positioning the sawing table at an angle
(Fig. 2)
Undo the locking screw (8).
Tilt the sawing table (14) to the left or right until
the pointer (10) coincides with the required angle
value on the degree scale (9).
Important: For precision work you should first
carry out a trial cut and then re-adjust the tilt
angle as required.
6. Operation
6.1 Please note:
Your saw does not cut wood automatically. For
cutting to occur, you have to guide the wood
against the blade.
The teeth cut only on the down stroke of the
blade.
You have to guide the wood slowly against the
blade because the teeth are very small.
Every new user needs a certain training period.
You are certain to break a number of blades at
the beginning.
When cutting thick timber, be particularly careful
not to bend or twist the blade. This will help to
prolong blade life.
6.2 On/Off switch
(Fig. 5 / Item 2)
Press the green button to switch the saw on.
Press the red button to switch the machine off.
Please note: The machine is equipped with a
safety switch to prevent it being switched on
again accidentally after a power failure.
6.3 Blade speed regulator (3)
The blade speed regulator allows you to set the
blade speed appropriate to the material to be cut.
6.4 Carrying out internal cuts
1. A feature of this fretsaw is that it allows you to
carry out internal cuts in a panel without
damaging it on the outside or circumference.
WARNING: TO PREVENT INJURIES DUE TO THE
SAW STARTING UP ACCIDENTALLY, ALWAYS
SET THE SWITCH TO „0“ POSITION AND PULL
THE POWER PLUG OUT OF THE SOCKET-
OUTLET BEFORE YOU REMOVE OR CHANGE
THE BLADE.
