• Press the upper arm of the saw slightly downwards
(Fig. 10) and fasten the other end of the saw blade
in the upper clamp.
• Tighten the blade with the clamping lever (Fig. 12)
by pressing it down again. Check the tension of the
blade. If the tension is too low, increase it by turning
clockwise. First slacken the clamping lever again.
• Insert the table insert.
Saw-blade with pins
Saw blade removal, fig. 9,10+12
• To remove the saw blade, lift the table insert
upwards
• Ease the tension with the clamping lever (Fig. 9).
• Remove the saw-blade from the upper and lower
support by slightly pressing the saw´s upper arm
down (fig. 10).
Inserting the saw-blade
The teeth of the saw blade must always point down-
wards.
• Lead one end of the saw-blade through the
perforation 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 10)
• Check the position of the blade pins at the supports.
• Tighten the blade with the clamping lever (Fig. 12)
by pressing down on it again. Check the tension of
the blade. If the tension is too low, increase it by
turning it in a clockwise direction. First slacken the
clamping lever again.
• Insert the table insert.

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.
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.

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. 14).
• 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 requi-
re additional maintenance.
