3. Press the support (12) down lightly (see fig. 9).
Insert the saw blade (21) into the top saw blade
holder (26).
4. Check the position of the saw blade pins in the
saw blade holders (26/29).
5. Tension the saw blade (21) with the tightening le-
ver (11) by pressing down on it again. Check the
tensioning of the saw blade (21). If the tension is
too low, you can increase it by turning it clock-
wise. Before doing this, release the tightening le-
ver (11) again.
6. Re-insert the table inlay (25). (see 8.2.1)
NOTE
The left side features a storage box (9), which ena-

hexagon wrench.
8.3 Checking the saw blade tension
WARNING
Check the blade tension regularly and after in-
serting a saw blade.
Tension the saw blade after assembly by pressing
down on the tension lever (11).
If the blade tension is too low or too high, proceed as
follows:
• Fold the tension lever (11) upwards.
• Turn the tension lever (11) clockwise to increase the
tension and counterclockwise to reduce it.
• Press the tightening lever (11) down again to en-
gage the setting.
If the tension is correct, the saw blade should produce
a light tone when it is "plucked", like a guitar string.
8.4 Fine adjustment of
(fig. 12; 12.1)
ATTENTION
Check the setting of the angle scale before working
with the device.
1. Loosen the adjustment screw locknut (35) using a
spanner, size 8 (not included in the scope of de-
livery).
2. To set the saw table, use a 90° angle bracket (30)
(not included in the scope of delivery). Place this
against the saw table and the saw blade (fig. 12).
3. Loosen the knurled nut (14). Adjust the adjust-
ment screw (35) until the angle between the saw
blade (21) and the saw table (6) is 90°.
4. Retighten the knurled nut (14) and the adjustment
screw locknut (35).
5. Loosen the screw (31) and turn the pointer (32) to

9. Operation

9.1 General notes
• The saw does not cut wood by itself. The user
makes cutting possible by guiding the wood into the
moving saw blade.
• The teeth only cut the wood on the down stroke.
• The wood must be fed slowly into the saw blade as
the teeth of the saw blade are very small.
• Anyone who wants to use the saw requires a cer-
tain amount of learning time. During this time some
blades are sure to break.
• When cutting thick timbers, particular care must be
taken to ensure that the saw blade is not bent or
twisted.
• Working carefully will increase the service life of
the saw blade.
9.2 Fine-wire fuse (7)
The fine-wire fuse (7) is inserted at the factory and
does not need to be installed. If the fine-wire fuse (7)
is defective, proceed as described in point 12.2.4.
9.2 On/off switch (16)
• Switching on: Press the "I" button.
• Switching off: Press the "0" button.
ATTENTION
The machine is equipped with a safety switch against
reactivation if the voltage drops.
If the scroll saw is switched on and the power sup-
ply in the mains is interrupted, the scroll saw remains
switched off, even if the power supply is re-estab-
lished. Press the "I" button to switch it on.
9.3 Work lamp operation (fig. 4)
Press the on/off switch (20) to switch the work lamp
(19) on and off.
