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 mov-
ing 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 unfa-
miliar 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 thick-
erthan 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.
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 ten-
sion 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.

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
using 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. 11).
• 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.
There are no parts inside the equipment which re-
quire additional maintenance.
