10. Operation

10.1 General information
• The saw does not cut wood by itself. The user makes cutting
possible by guiding the wood into the moving saw blade.
• The teeth only cut the wood on the down stroke.
• The wood must be fed slowly into the saw blade as the teeth
of the saw blade are very small.
• Anyone who wants to use the saw requires a certain amount
of learning time. During this time some blades are sure to
break.
• When cutting thick timbers, particular care must be taken to
ensure that the saw blade is not bent or twisted.
• Working carefully will increase the service life of the saw
blade.
10.2 On/off switch (16)
• Switching on: Press the "I" button.
• Switching off: Press the "0" button.
ATTENTION
The machine is equipped with a safety switch against
reactivation if the voltage drops.
If the scroll saw is switched on and the power supply in the
mains is interrupted, the scroll saw remains switched off, even if
the power supply is re-established. Press the "I" button to switch
it on.
10.3 Work lamp operation (fig. 4)
1. Press the on/off switch (21) to switch the work lamp (20)
on and off.
10.4 Stroke rate controller (fig. 2)
The stroke rate controller (18) allows you to set the stroke rate
according to the material to be cut. In case of soft material,
we recommend high stroke rates, while strokes rates should be
kept low for hard material. Turn the stroke rate controller (18)
clockwise to increase the stroke rate. Turning counterclockwise
lowers the stroke rate.
10.5 Operating modes (fig. 1, 2)
The scroll saw is able to be operated manually or via the foot
pedal.
10.5.1 Manual controls
1. Ensure that the machine is switched on.
2. Set the operating mode selection switch (17) to the "M"
position to operate the saw manually.
3. Use the stroke rate controller (18) to set the appropriate
stroke rate for the material (see 10.4).
10.5.2 Foot pedal controls
1. Ensure that the machine is switched on.
2. Set the operating mode selection switch (17) to the "F"
position to operate the saw via the foot pedal (7).
3. The stroke rate may now be regulated via the foot pedal
position. If you depress the foot pedal (7) completely, you
will reach the maximum stroke rate.
CAUTION
When changing from foot pedal controls to manual controls,
the machine starts automatically. The stroke rate corresponds
with the stroke rate set on the speed regulator (18).
10.5.3 Stop position
If the operating mode selection switch (17) is set to the Stop
position (middle position), the machine stops.
CAUTION
The machine is not switched off in this position. When changing
from foot pedal controls to manual controls, the machine starts
automatically. The stroke rate corresponds with the stroke rate
set on the speed regulator (18).
10.6 Carrying out inside cuts
This scroll saw allows inside cuts in workpieces without
damaging the outside or the circumference of the workpiece.
1. Remove the saw blade (22) as described in 9.1.
2. Drill a hole into the workpiece.
3. Place the workpiece with the drilled hole over the opening
of the table inlay (26) on the saw table (6).
4. Install the saw blade (22) (as described in 9.1) through
the drilled hole in the workpiece and set the blade tension.
5. After completing the inside cut, remove the saw blade (22)
from the blade holders (as described in 9.1).
6. Remove the workpiece from the table.
10.7 Carrying out mitre cuts (fig. 14)
WARNING
Be particularly careful when making mitre cuts. The incline of
the saw table supports slipping. There is a risk of injury.
1. To carry out mitre cuts, adjust the distance between the saw
blade guard (5) mounted to the retaining device (24) and
the work table accordingly.
2. Swivel the table by loosening the knurled nut (14) and
tilting the saw table (6) into the desired position.
3. Tighten the knurled nut (14).

11. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies with
the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the
extension cable used must also comply with these
regulations.
