NOTE
The left side features a storage box (9), which enables
you to stow replacement saw blades and the hexagon
wrench.
8.3 Checking the saw blade tension
m WARNING
Check the blade tension regularly and after insert-
ing a saw blade.
Tension the saw blade after assembly by pressing
down on the tension lever (11).
If the blade tension is too low or too high, proceed as
follows:
• Fold the tension lever (11) upwards.
• Turn the tension lever (11) clockwise to increase the
tension and counterclockwise to reduce it.
• Press the tightening lever (11) down again to engage
the setting.
If the tension is correct, the saw blade should produce
a light tone when it is "plucked", like a guitar string.
8.4 Fine adjustment of the angle scale
(fig. 12; 12.1)
ATTENTION
Check the setting of the angle scale before working
with the device.
1.
Loosen the adjustment screw locknut (35) using a
spanner, size 8 (not included in the scope of de-
livery).
2.
To set the saw table, use a 90° angle bracket (30)
(not included in the scope of delivery). Place this
against the saw table and the saw blade (fig. 12).
3.
Loosen the knurled nut (14). Adjust the adjustment
screw (35) until the angle between the saw blade
(21) and the saw table (6) is 90°.
4.
Retighten the knurled nut (14) and the adjustment
screw locknut (35).
5.
Loosen the screw (31) and turn the pointer (32) to
the 0° marking.
6.
Make a test cut. Check the angle on the workpiece
with a protractor. If necessary, readjust the pointer
(32).
8.5 Installing the blow-off device (fig. 8)
1.
Ensure that the saw blade guard (5) folded down.
2.
Screw the blow-off device (1) clockwise onto the
holder (2) as described in fig. 8.
8.6 Chip extraction (fig. 13)
ATTENTION:
Only operate the product with a suitable chip extraction
system. Do not use household vacuum cleaners.
Connect a suitable chip extraction system (not included
in the scope of delivery) to the suction connection (15)
(see fig. 13, sample figure).
ATTENTION:
Check and clean the suction channels at regular intervals.
9.
Operation
m Attention!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
9.1 General notes
• 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 cer-
tain 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.
9.2 Fine-wire fuse (7)
The fine-wire fuse (7) is inserted at the factory and
does not need to be installed. If the fine-wire fuse (7) is
defective, proceed as described in point 12.2.4.
9.3 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.
