3. finely set the saw blade clamp as described under 8 7 4 8 7 4 Finely setting the correct saw tensioning fig 6 Correct saw tensioning is an essential factor for a clean work result This must therefore be carefully set If over or undertensioned the saw blade can lightly crack Turn knurled button 1 to set the tensioning If the button is moved to the right clockwise the saw blade is more tightly tensioned If it is turned to the left anticlockwise the blade is loosened A correctly tensioned blade sounds a slight tone if plucked like a string 8 7 5 Removing saw blade fig 5a and 5b 8 7 5 1 Saw blades with cross pin fig 5a 1 Position the quick tensioning lever 4 to the front 2 Press top arm 5 slightly down so that the saw blade 1 can be released from the top mount 6 Take out saw blade 3 Take out saw blade from bottom mount 3 and remove through table opening 2 8 7 5 2 Saw blades with plain ends fig 5b 1 Position the quick tensioning lever 4 to the front 1 Open wingnut 8 the saw blade 1 releases from the top mount 7 2 Open cheese head screw 7 with the T handle Allen key 5 release saw blade from the lower mount 3 and remove through the table opening 9 Working with the saw 9 1 General information for working with mechanical scroll saw The mechanical scroll saw is predominantly a machine for Sawing curves and precise sections A typical application is shown in fig 7 The work pie

5. again 4 Cut out the opening and remove the work piece once the saw blade has been removed again Tip If you drill the hole in such a way that it does not touch the later inside contour you can allow the saw line to run tangentially into the contour This produces a nice even sawing edge 10 2 2 Grain cuts For grain cuts the table is simply tilted by the required amount This works as follows 1 Slightly loosen toggle screw 1 fig 2 and align saw table 2 to the required value using scale 9 on indicator 8 2 Tighten toggle screw 1 3 Press the work piece particularly firmly against the table for a grain cut 11 Care and maintenance After use CAUTION Pull the mains plug before making any adjustments performing maintenance work or carrying out repairs Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury NOTE The scroll saw is basically maintenance free However to ensure a long service life you should clean the device after each use with a soft cloth swab or brush A vacuum cleaner is also advisable for this Ensure all ventilation slots are free from obstruction External cleaning of the housing can be carried out using a soft possibly moist cloth While doing so a mild detergent or other suitable cleansing agent can be used WARNING To avoid fire or toxic reaction never use gasoline naphtha acetone lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile solvents to clean the scroll saw T
6. always try to follow the direction of the fibre applies particularly to thin saw blades 9 1 1 Selecting the saw blade As already mentioned the correct selection of material has a very great influence on the quality of the result The table below should serve as a small guide Extensive experience with many materials and types of saw blade is of course always helpful with selection You can experiment here Tip The saw blades are mostly only particularly worn at places where the teeth are particularly highly utilised when sawing and therefore become blunt very quickly To use up the non worn teeth and thus increase the edge life of the sawing blades you can artificially raise the bearing surface for the work piece somewhat To do this simply secure a smooth table sized underlay with the required thickness to the saw table using for example double sided sticky tape The non worn parts of the saw blade are now sawing the work piece This is particularly sensible if you often saw very hard and wear intensive materials with thin blades The numerical data for characterising the fineness of the toothing is related to the number of teeth per inch of saw blade length approx 10 14 Soft and hard wood from approx 3 16 2 plastics soft materials thicker work pieces approx 17 18 Fine sawing work wood up to 3 16 plastics soft materials thinner work pieces approx 25 28 Plastic GRP non fer
