The scroll saw is mainly usd for sawing cuves. To achieve
best rcsults you should always obserue the fpilowing points:
1. When sawing press the work piece firmly onto the work
plate (Fig. 9); advance the work piece carefully and with
only little force; apply more force to the work plate and
less force to the saw blade.
Use only good saw blades.
Always pull the mains plug out when carrying out
maintenance.
Do not let the machine run unattended.
The saw does not cut the wok piece by itself , you must
guide the work piece towards the saw blade.
The cuning teeth will only cut during the downwards stroke.
2. Guide the work piece slowly against the saw blade,
especially when using a lhin blade with fine toothing or if
the work piece is very thick. The teeth wiil throw out the
saw dust only during the downwards stroke.
3. Best results will be achieved if the thickness of the wood
is less than 25 mm.
4. For wood thicknesses of more than 25 mm you must
guide the work piece eritremely carefully to prevent the
saw blade lrom being damaged by kinking, bending or
twisting.
Replace blunt saw blades in due time.
5. Always remember that the saw blade will try to foltow the
grain in the wood when cuning exact cuts (applies
particularly
for thin saw blades).
