7.3.3 Calibrating the angle scale
Important: The angle scale is already properly
set when delivered.
Align the saw table using a 90° stop angle on
the table and at the saw blade(Fig. 12). Slacken
the screw (28) and turn the pointer (27) to the
90° mark.
Carry out a test run for precise machining:
Test the angle set by making a sample cut and
checking the respective number of degrees on
the workpiece using an angle gage. Readjust
the pointer (27) if necessary.
8. Operation
8.1 Note:
■
The saw does not cut wood automatically.
Rather, the operator must push and guide
the wood toward the moving saw blade.
■
The teeth only cut the wood on the
downstroke.
■
The wood must be slowly pushed and
guided toward the saw blade, since the
teeth of the blade are very small.
■
Those who want to use the saw must go
through the process of learning how to do
so. During this time, a few blades will
invariably break.
■
When cutting thicker wood, special attention
must be paid not to bend or twist the saw
blade.
Handling the saw blade properly increases its
service life.
8.2 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Item 14)
■
Press the “I” button to switch on.
■
Press the “0” button to switch off.
Important:
The machine is equipped with a
safety switch to prevent it from being switched
on again accidentally after a power failure.
If the mains power supply is interrupted when
the fretsaw is switched on, the saw will switch
off and remain in this state, even after the
power is restored. Press the “I” switch again to
switch the saw back on.
8.3 Speed regulator
The speed regulator (15) allows you to set the
blade speed appropriate to the material to be
cut. We recommend high speeds for soft
material and low speeds for hard material.
Turning the speed regulator (15) to the right
increases rotational speed.
8.4 Inside cutting
One of the features of this fretsaw is that it can
make cuts inside a panel without damaging the
outside or edges.
To cut inside a panel:
■
Remove the saw blade as described in
section 7.3.2.
■
Drill a hole in the panel in question.
■
Lay the panel with the hole over the access
hole in the saw table.
■
Insert the saw blade through the hole in the
panel and set the blade tension.
■
When you have finished cutting, remove the
saw blade from the blade holders (as
described in section 7.3.2) and lift the panel
off the table.
8.5 Miter cutting
Swivel the saw table by loosening the locking
lever (12) and tilting the table to the desired
position (Fig. 13). Tighten the locking lever.
Important.
Be especially careful when making miter cuts.
The angle of the saw table makes it easier for
the workpiece to slip.
Risk of injury.
8.6 Adapter for coping saw blades
(Fig. 5/14)
■
Remove the saw blade as described in
7.3.2.
■
Now insert the coping saw blade (17) in the
adapter. Use the 2.5 mm Allen key for this.
Important: The coping saw blade is not
supplied.
■
First remove the table insert (26).
■
Then hook both adapters (19) on the two
saw blade holders (24/25).
■
Insert the saw blade as described in 7.3.2.
