5.3

Adjust and set angle display (fig. 2)

1. Slightly loosen toggle 1 (fig. 2) and fold saw table 2 up to stop screw 3.
2. Clamp saw blade 4! See the corresponding section 5.7.1 of these in-
structions. Caution! Mains plug must not be connected.
3. Using an angle 5 on the saw table 2, check the right-hand angle to
the saw blade. The stop screw is preset. If this still has to be adjusted,
you can adjust the setting yourself using an Allen key 7, as shown in
fig. 2, once the counter nut has been loosened. After correct setting,
tighten the counter nut. Make sure that the stop screw does not go
out of position in this process.
4. Check the "zero" setting of the indicator 8, if necessary, correct after
the fastening screw has been loosened. For precise working, carry
out sawing sample.
5. Saw a sample from a piece of wood and check the angle again, if
necessary adjust the saw table 2, indicator 8 or stop screw 3 as
shown in fig. 2.
5.4

Assembling the air nozzle (fig. 3)

1. Take parts for securing the air nozzles from the bag.
2. Screw the knurled screw 1 with clamping pieces 2 into the saw frame.
3. Introduce the air nozzle pipe 3 into the hole on the opened clamp
pieces, adjust the pipe and slightly tighten the toggle 1.
4. Place the air hose 4 on pipe 3 and nipple 5.
5.5

Saw blade guard

Caution!
The scope of delivery of your scroll saw includes a saw blade guard.
This is simply mounted in the upper plastic cover of the saw arm.
Fig. 3a shows how to assemble the saw blade guard. Both pins at the
saw blade guard are clipped into the designated drill holes. Please note
that the saw blade guard is an important safety tool and the saw may
not be operated without it! Injuries could be the result.
The following describes activities in which the guard may be disassem-
bled expediently. But it must be clearly noted that the saw blade guard
must be mounted again when this work is completed: Operation without
this important safety accessory is not permitted!
Further graphics in these instructions sometimes show the device with-
out a saw blade guard. This only serves as optical clarification of the il-
lustrated actions and is in no way intended to convey that the machine
may be operated without the saw blade guard!

Connecting the vacuum cleaner (fig. 4)

1. Place the vacuum hose 1 of the vacuum cleaner in the connecting
piece 2.
2. Switch on the vacuum cleaner before sawing so that the sawdust is
vacuumed and the suction device does not get blocked. For practical
reasons, the PROXXON suction control device is recommended.

Caution!
Always remove the mains plug before performing the activities described
here.

5.7.1

Clamping in the saw blade (fig. 5a and 5b)

Standard blades with cross pins and hand(leaf) blades without cross
pin can be clamped into the saw blade mount.
Replace damaged or worn saw blades immediately. They represent a
safety risk and worsen the work result. The best cutting performance
and precision can only be achieved with perfect saw blades.
Use PROXXON original saw blades and carefully select suitable saw
blades for the intended purpose and material to be cut. With PROXXON,
there are also various fine toothings, flat and round blades, and some
with and without cross pin. You will find suggestions in these instructions.
5.7.1.1

Saw blades with cross pin (fig. 5a)

Saw blades with cross pin are particularly suitable for working with
many closed inside cuts. The saw blade can be quickly and comfort-
ably removed from the upper mount, looped through the work piece
and repositioned. You will find more precise information in the section
"Inside cuts".
Caution!
Saw blades with cross pins may only be hung in position. Do not clamp
the saw blades with the cross pin additionally by means of the cheese-
head screws. Risk of fracture!
1. The the rotary knob 1 (Fig. 6) for saw blade tensioning to the left until
the saw blade is loose.
2. Press the top arm 5 (fig. 5a) lightly if necessary and remove a saw
blade already in the holder.
3. Place saw blade 1 with the toothing pointing downwards through the
table opening 2 and fit in the bottom mount 3.
4. Press lightly on the top arm 5 and fit blade in the upper mount 6, see
fig. 5a).
5. Release arm and by turning the rotary knob 1 (Fig. 6) to the right, set
the saw blade tensioning.
6. If required, finely adjust the saw blade clamp as described under
5.7.2.
5.7.1.2

Saw blades with flat ends or leaf saw blades, see fig. 5b)

1. Turn rotary knob 1 (Fig. 6) for saw blade tensioning to the left until
the saw blade is loose.
2. Open cheese-head screws 4 with the T grip Allen key 5 and remove
the saw blade through the table opening.
3. Place saw blade 1 with the toothing at the bottom through the table
opening 2 and fit in the bottom mount 3. Then clamp the blade in
the mount by tightening the cheese-head screw 4 with the supplied
Allen key with T grip 5. Caution: Make sure that the blade is clamped
really far forward! This is where the clamping force is at its greatest.
4. Press lightly on the top arm 6, introduce the saw blade into the up-
per holder 7 and tension in the same way.
5. Release the arm and set the saw blade tensioning by turning the
rotary knob 1 (Fig. 6) to the right.
6. If required, adjust the saw blade clamp as described under 5.7.2.
