INSIDE CUTS
Warning: Switch off the saw and remove the mains
supply plug before installing saw blades in order to
avoid injuries caused by unintentional activation of
the saw.
This saw is suited also to inside cuts cuts not starting at
the edge of the work piece. Proceed as follows:
• Drill a 6 mm hole in the work piece.
• Loosen the blade tension er and release the tension
in the blade.
• Place the bore hole over the saw blade slot in the
work bench.
• Install the saw blade through the hole in the work
piece and through the work blade slot, and fasten the
blade to the holders.
•
When you have completed the inside cut, remove the
saw blade and then remove the workpiece from the
bench.
Flexible shaft, Fig. 12-14
• Remove protective cap (O) from the threaded bush-
ing
(Fig. 13)
.
•
Place flexible shaft onto the threaded bushing
(Fig. 14)
.
• Clamp tool in the drill chuck (D 3.2).
•
Firmly hold threaded shaft at the handle and switch
on the speed control.
•
Having finished the work, remove the flexi
-
ble shaft and place the protective cap in place.
Attention: When working with the flexible shaft, cover
the saw blade with the blade guard.
9. Maintenance
Warning: In the interests of operational safety,
always switch off the saw and remove the mains
plug before carrying out maintenance work.
General
Wipe chips and dust off the machine from time to time us-
ing a cloth.
Re-application of the wax coating on the workbench
makes feeding the workpiece to the blade easier.
Motor
The mains cable should be replaced immediately if
pulled out, cut or damaged in any other way.
Do not lubricate the motor bearings or internal parts!
Saw arm bearings
Lubricate the saw arm bearings every 50 hours. Pro
-
ceed as follows
(Fig. 15)
.
• Turn the saw to the side
•
Apply a generous amount of SAE 20 oil to the shaft
end and bronze bearings.
• Let the lubricant oil work in overnight.
•
Repeat the procedure the next day on the other
side of the saw.
• Tighten the blade with the tightening screw
(1)
(fig.7)
by rotating it clockwise. Check the tightness of the
blade. Keep on rotating clockwise in order to tighten
the blade even more.
B. Saw-blade with pins
B 1 Saw blade removal, fig. 7 + 8
•
Extract the saw-blade by first unscrewing the tighten
-
ing screw
(1)
.
• Remove the saw-blade from the upper and lower sup-
port by slightly pressing the saw´s upper arm down
(fig. 10, M)
.
B 2 Inserting the saw-blade fig 7, 9-11
• Lead one end of the saw-blade through the perfora-
tion in the table and insert the saw-blade pins into
the notch. Repeat this procedure at the upper blade
support.
•
Before hooking it in, slightly press the saw´s upper
arm down.
(Fig 9; Nr. 10)
• Check the position of the blade pins at the supports
(fig 11)
.
•
Tighten the blade by means of the tightening screw.
Check the blade´s tightness. Keep on rotating clock
-
wise in order to tighten the blade even more.

8. Operation
A scroll saw is fundamentally a „curve cutting tool“ but
which can also carry out straight and angled edge cuts.
Familiarise yourself with the following important points
prior to commissioning the saw.
•
The saw does not automatically cut wood. You must
feed the wood against the saw blade manually.
•
The cutting process occurs on I y while the blade is
moving downwards.
•
Feed the wood slowly against the saw blade as the
saw blade teeth are small and cut only while moving
downwards.
•
AlI persons carrying out work with the saw require
training. The saw blade may break easily during this
training time Iwhile the operator is sti1l unfamiliar with
the saw.
• The saw is best suited tor sheets of wood less than
2.5 cm thick.
•
Feed the wood especially slowly against the blade
and avoid abrupt curves to prevent the saw blade from
breaking, if you wish to cut wood sheets thickerthan
2.5 cm.
• Saw blade teeth blunten over time, saw blades must
be replaced. The saw blades are sufficient tor 1/2 to
2 operating time depending upon the type of wood.
•
Try and make sure that the saw blade follows the grain
of the wood in order to obtain a clean cut.
• The saw speed must be reduced to minimum when
cutting precious and non-terrous metals.
