Description of the Machine (see also fig. 1a and 1b)
The PROXXON scroll saw is a very sturdy, ruggedly designed but never-
theless mechanically very sophisticated and carefully produced device.
The heavy die-cast pedestal and the rigid die-cast machine body form
a solid base for the complex machine mechanics and a perfect platform
for the precision mounting of the saw arms which are made of ultra-light
but strong magnesium in order to reduce the moved weights. They are
driven by a quiet, powerful induction motor which can be adapted to the
required material properties with two speeds (800/1700 rpm) for opti-
mum smooth running and low vibration.
Your DS 460 has many areas of application and is particularly suitable
for mould construction, fine mechanics, model building and toy manu-
facture. It is therefore just the right tool for ambitious model builders,
designers, architects (model building) or carpenters.
The large tiltable saw table for mitre cuts of -5 to 50° is made of die-cast
aluminium for maximum accuracy and stability and precision ground for
optimum gliding characteristics. Its special design also simplifies chang-
ing of the saw blade.
The saw table can be unlocked and pushed back to improve the acces-
sibility of the lower saw blade attachment. This enables quick and easy
changing of the saw blades.
Saw blades with both pin ends and flat ends can be used. The use of
sliding blocks allows precise guiding of the saw blade without interfer-
ence from bending forces.
You will find the appropriate saw blades for the respective job in the
Proxxon range of accessories. We recommend you to use Proxxon saw
blades exclusively!
The DS 460 saws soft wood up to a thickness of 50 mm, plastic up to 30
mm and non-ferrous metals up to 10 mm.
The saw can also be used to easily cut plexiglass, GRP, foam, rubber,
leather and cork.
And there is an automatically driven bellows with an adjustable air nozzle to
ensure that dust does not obstruct the view of the cutting line during work.
A vacuum cleaner can be connected additionally. This guarantees clean
working.

Installation and Commissioning of the Saw
Make sure your mains plug has a protective earthing
conductor and is suitable to operate the device!
7.1 Unpacking (Fig. 2a and 2b):
1.
Take the device carefully out of the box. Please hold the scroll saw
by the die-cast housing as shown in fig. 2a. This will avoid damage.
2.
The saw table 1 is folded up at an angle of about 45° for transport
reasons. Please loosen the clamping screw 2 (fig. 2b), pull down
the lock lever 3 of the angle adjustment, move the table into the
horizontal position and snap the lock lever back into the gear 4.
7.2 Installing the Saw
Safe and accurate work is only possible with careful
fastening!
1.
Fix the saw to a strong workbench with two screws (e. g. Ø 3/8 ").
Use the holes (12, fig. 1) on the right and left in the pedestal.
7.3 Adjusting the Angle Display (Fig. 3):
Make sure that the mains plug is removed before do-
ing any setting work, otherwise there is a danger of
injury in case of accidental starting of the machine!
The angle display 1 is set exactly at the factory and does not normally
need to be readjusted. If it has become misadjusted, this is quite easy
to correct:
1.
Clamp the saw blade 2. See the relevant section of this manual.
2.
Set the saw table to the "0°" position. See the section "Mitre Cuts".
This tells you how to set the angle of the saw table.
3.
Check using a square 3 whether the saw blade actually is at a right
angle to the saw table in this position. If not, readjust the saw table
setting at the knurled screw 4.
4.
Check the position in the angle display 1. This must now be aligned
exactly to the 0° position on the scale.
5.
If the angle display needs to be adjusted, loosen the Allen screw
5, move the angle display to the 0° position and retighten the Allen
screw.
6.
Test by sawing a piece of wood and check the angle on the work-
piece again.
7.4 Assembling the Air Nozzle (Fig. 4):
Sawdust along the cutting line is removed immediately by a blower dur-
ing work. Ideal for a free view. The blower starts automatically as soon
as the saw is switched on.
1.
Remove the air nozzle pipe 1 and hose 2 from the enclosed bag.
2.
Loosen the knurled screw 3 and insert the air nozzle pipe 1 into the
appropriate recess in the open clamping pieces 4.
3.
Align the air nozzle pipe and tighten the knurled screw 3.
4.
Push the air hose 2 onto the rear end of the air nozzle pipe 1 and
the nipple 5 on the bellows on the top saw arm.
To align the air nozzle, simply loosen the knurled screw 3 and position
the air nozzle pipe by turning and moving it towards the workpiece.
