Adjust And Set Angle Display (Fig. 2); Assembling The Air Nozzle (Fig. 3); Connecting The Vacuum Cleaner (Fig. 4); Saw Blades - Proxxon DSH/E Manual

8.4 Adjust and set angle display (fig. 2):

1. Slightly loosen toggle 1 (fig. 2) and fold saw table 2 up to
stop screw 3.
2. Clamp saw blade 4! See the corresponding section 8.7.1 of
these instructions. Caution! Mains plug must not be
connected.
3. Using an angle 5 on the saw table 2, check the right-hand
angle to the saw blade. The stop screw is preset. If this still
has to be adjusted, you can adjust the setting yourself
using an Allen key 7, as shown in fig. 2, once the counter
nut has been loosened. After correct setting, tighten the
counter nut. Make sure that the stop screw does not go
out of position in this process.
4. Check the "zero" setting of the bevel indicator 8, if
necessary, correct after the fastening screw has been
loosened. For precise working, carry out sawing sample.
5. Saw a sample from a piece of wood and check the angle
again, if necessary adjust the saw table 2, indicator 8 or
stop screw 3 as shown in fig. 2.

8.5 Assembling the air nozzle (fig. 3):

1. Take parts for securing the air nozzles from the attached bag.
2. Screw the knurled screw 1 (fig. 3) with clamping pieces 2
into the saw frame.
3. Introduce the air nozzle pipe 3 (fig. 3) into the hole on the
opened clamp pieces, adjust the pipe and slightly tighten
the toggle 1.
4. Place the air hose 4 (fig. 3) on pipe 3 and nipple 5.

8.6 Connecting the vacuum cleaner (fig. 4):

1. Place the vacuum hose 1 of the vacuum cleaner in the
connecting piece 2.
2. Switch on the vacuum cleaner before sawing so that the
sawdust is vacuumed and the suction device does not get
blocked. For practical reasons, the PROXXON suction
control device is recommended.

8.7 Saw blades

CAUTION!
Always remove the mains plug before performing the activities
described here.

8.7.1 Clamping in the saw blade (fig. 5a and 5b):

Standard blades with cross pins or plain ended blades
without cross pin can be clamped into the saw blade mount.
Replace damaged or worn saw blades immediately. They
represent a safety risk and worsen the work result. The best
- 12 -
cutting performance and precision can only be achieved with
perfect saw blades.
Use PROXXON original saw blades and carefully select
suitable saw blades for the intended purpose and material to
be cut. With Proxxon, there are also various fine toothings, flat
and round blades, and some with and without cross pin. You
will find suggestions in these instructions.

8.7.2 Saw blades with cross pin (fig. 5a).

Saw blades with cross pin are particularly suitable for working
with many closed inside cuts. The saw blade can be quickly
and comfortably removed from the upper mount, looped
through the work piece and repositioned. You will find more
precise information in the section "Inside cuts".
CAUTION!
Saw blades with cross pins may only be hung in position. Do
not clamp the saw blades with the cross pin additionally by
means of the cheese-head screws. Risk of fracture!
1. Position the level for the quick tensioning clamp 4 to the
front!
2. Place saw blade 1 with the teeth pointing downwards
through the table opening 2 and fit in the bottom mount 3.
3. Press lightly on the top arm 5 and fit blade in the upper
mount 6, see fig. 5a).
4. Release arm and position the lever of quick tensioning
clamp 4 to the rear.
5. If required, finely set the saw blade clamp as described
under 8.7.4.
8.7.3 Saw blades with flat ends (hand or leaf saw blades,
see fig. 5b):
1. Position the lever for the quick tensioning clamp 4 to the
front!
2. Place saw blade 1 with the teeth pointing downwards
through the table opening 2 and fit in the bottom mount 3.
Then clamp the blade in the mount by tightening the
cheese-head screw 4 with the supplied Allen key with
T-handle 5.
3. Press lightly on the upper arm 6, introduce the saw blade
into the upper mount 7 and fix by tightening the wingnut 8.
4. Position the lever for the quick tensioning clamp 9 to the
rear!
5. If required, 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
