Mounting the saw on a work bench (Fig.04) • A workbench made from solid wood is better than one made of plywood, as interfering vibrations and noise are more noticeable with plywood. • The necessary tools and small parts for assembling the saw on a workbench are not supplied with the saw. However, use equipment of at least the following size: 1. Saw body 2. Foam rubber base 3. Work bench 4. Flat seal 5. Washer 6. Hexagonal nut 7. Lock nut 8. Hexagonal bolt Fig.

B-2 Inserting the saw-blade • 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.
Electrical Requirements The installed electric motor is completely wired ready for operation. The customer’s connection to the power supply system, and any extension cables that may be used, must conform with local regulations. Important remark: The motor is automatically switched off in the event of an overload. The motor can be switched on again after a cooling down period that can vary with environmental temperatures.
General Usage and Maintenance A scroll saw is fundamentally a “curve cutting tool” but which can also carry out straight and angled edge cuts. Familiarize 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 while the blade is moving. • Feed the wood slowly against the saw blade as the saw blade teeth are small.
USING VARIABLE SPEED • By turning the variable speed knob, the saw’s speed may be adjusted from a high speed of approximately 1,600 SPM (Strokes Per Minute) to a low speed of approximately 400 SPM. • To increase the strokes per minute, turn the variable speed knob clockwise or to the right. • To decrease the strokes per minute, turn the variable speed knob counterclockwise or to the left.

Troubleshooting Service on these tools should only be performed by an authorized, qualified technician.
