Description of the machine 

The DS 230/E cuts soft wood up to max. 40 mm, hardwood up to 10 mm,
boards up to 4 mm and non-ferrous metals up to 
2 mm. Electronic speed regulation enables adaptation of the stroke rate
to suit the material to be sawed. Thanks to the vertical adjustment, saw
blades of different lengths can be used (80 to 140 mm). The integrated
blowing device reliably ensures a clear view of the sawing line. 

The basic equipment includes five saw blades with different teeth, a
longitudinal stop, one angle stop, two fixing bolts, a rubber adapter for
the vacuum cleaner connection as well as a hexagon key. 

We recommend original PROXXON replacement saw blades.

Operation 

Before start-up

Mounting the machine 

The mechanical fret saw must be fastened onto a sturdy woo-den board
using the enclosed fixing bolts 

1

(Fig.2) The board can then be fixed onto

a sturdy table using two fastening clamps.  

Fastening the saw bow 

Fasten the saw bow with the two screws included onto the rear side of
the machine.

Vertical adjustment 

The DS 230/E has vertical adjustment, so saw blades of different lengths
can be used (80 to 140 mm). Higher stability of the blade is achieved by
using shorter saw blades (the blade does not deflect to the rear under
pressure). This is particularly important when sawing boards or non-
ferrous metals. In such cases, we recommend shortening the saw blade
with pliers to a length of 80 mm 

(danger of injury – wear safety

goggles)

and fixing the vertical adjustment to the lower position. 

1. Release screws 

1

(Fig. 3). 

2. Bring the vertical adjustment 

2

into the required position. 

3. Re-tighten the screws

Fitting the saw blade 

1.

Open the sliding door 

11

(Fig. 1). 

2.

Attach the device to the mains and briefly switch on. Switch off the
device in such a way that the lower locking ring 

1

(Fig. 4) remains in

the top position. Several attempts may be necessary here. 

3.

Pull out the mains plugs

4.

Unscrew the screw with the Allen key 3 at the lower locking ring by
max. 2 turns. 

5.

Insert the saw blade with teeth facing downward so far into the
lower locking ring, until the first teeth are below the upper edge of
the work surface. 

6.

Align the saw blade perpendicularly at the saw blade guide 

2

and

tighten the screw at the locking ring. 

7.

Unscrew the screw at the upper locking ring 

1

(Fig. 5) by max. 2

turns. 

8.

Insert the saw blade into the upper locking ring. 

9.

Push down the tightening screw for the saw blade 

3

so far, that the

saw blade is positioned approx. 10 mm deep in the locking ring. 

10. Tighten the screw at the locking ring. 
11. Check that the saw blade guide 

2

(Fig.5) is positioned correctly

against the saw blade. 

12. Tension the saw blade using the tightening screw 

3

. The necessary

voltage is dependent on the thickness and type of material to be
processed. It is best to find the correct voltage by trial and error.

13. Close the sliding door 

11

(Fig. 1). 

14. Insert the mains plug. 

Connecting the vacuum cleaner

For longer periods of operation, we recommend connecting the saw to a
