Installation

Setting the saw bench, Fig. 3
Setting the angle scale

Release the start button and bring the saw bench (Fig. 3, A) to a right angle (Fig. 3, B) in relation to the saw blade.
Use a 90° angle to measure the right angle between the blade and the bench. The saw blade is 90° to the angle.
Close the start button again when the distance between the blade and the 90° angle is at a minimum. The bench should then be at 90° to the saw blade.
Release the lock screw (Fig. 3, C) and bring the indicator to the zero position. Fasten the screw. Please note: the angle scale is a useful piece of supplementary equipment, but should not be used for precision work. Use scrap wood for saw tests, and adjust the bench if necessary. Note: The bench should not be on the motor block, this can cause undesirable noise.

Horizontal saw bench and diagonal cuts, Fig. 3+4

The saw bench can be positioned in a 450 diagonal position or left in a horizontal position.
You can read off the approximate slope angle by using the angle scale located under the workbench. For more exact adjustment, use scrap wood for some saw tests; adjust the bench if necessary.

Blade guard assembly and hold-down clamp, Fig. 5+6

Assemble the workpiece holder (Fig. 5, A) to the clamp (Fig. 5, B) as shown in the image. This must be fixed first to the machine with the Tommy screw (Fig. 5, C).
Secure the blade guard with the screw and nut.

Operation

A scroll saw is fundamentally a „curve cutting tool“ but 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.
All persons carrying out work with the saw require training. The saw blade may break easily during this training time while the operator is sti1l unfamiliar with the saw.
The saw is best suited for 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 thicker than 2.5 cm.
Saw blade teeth blunted over time, saw blades must be replaced. The saw blades are sufficient for 1/2 to 2 operating times 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 a minimum when cutting precious and non-ferrous metals.

Inside cuts
Warning: Switch off the saw and remove the main 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 not starting at the edge of the workpiece. Proceed as follows:

Drill a 6 mm hole in the workpiece.
Loosen the blade tension er and release the tension in the blade.
Place the borehole over the saw blade slot in the workbench.
Install the saw blade through the hole in the workpiece 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.

Maintenance

Warning: In the interests of operational safety, always switch off the saw and remove the main 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 main 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. Proceed 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 require additional maintenance.
