8 Powercraft INSTALLING ACCESSORIES Fig.B Always disconnect the machine from the main power supply before carrying out any maintenance work been sufficiently tightened to prevent the saw blade from being fastened obliquely and thus sawing inaccurately. Install the assembly in the holder in accordance with the instruction 'Installing the saw blade'. REMOVING THE SAW BLADE INSTALLING THE PROTECTIVE COVER Before commissioning the machine, the protective cover (5) must be installed. INSTALLING THE CROSS GUIDE Fig.C The cross guide (3) allows material to be bevelled, and can be simultaneously used to support the material as it is fed through the saw. OPERATION Fig.D Always observe the safety instructions and obey the relevant regulations. TILTING THE TABLE The scroll saw table can be tilted through 45. To do so: Lock the locking arm underneath the table. Manually tilt the table until the desired angle has been reached (see the graduated scale on the machine). Retighten the locking arm. Always disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any maintenance work. Loosen the tensioner head until the spring is slack. Carefully push down the upper saw-blade holder and slightly lift the blade in order to facilitate its removal. Allow the blade to drop down slightly and push it forward, in order to loosen it from the lower holder. USING THE SCROLL SAW MACHINE The saw blade saws only during the downward stroke. Using both hands, slowly and with minimum pressure push the workpiece across the table towards the saw blade. This will prevent the blade from breaking or twisting. For optimal results, the saw blade must be sharp. Use the correct saw blade. The selection of the saw blade depends on the thickness of the wood and the desired cut. Generally speaking, the thinner and harder the wood, the finer the teeth of the saw blade must be. Use a narrow blade to saw tight bends. INSTALLING THE SAW BLADE Fig.E Always disconnect the machine from the main power supply before carrying out any maintenance work Use universal saw blades from any better DIY shop or machine shop. Select the correct blade for the kind of wood to be cut. Loosen the tensioner button (6). Push the saw blade through the slot, with the teeth pointing downwards. Make sure that the bolt of the saw blade (or saw-blade adapter) slides into the lower saw blade holder. Pull the saw blade up, so that the upper bolt (or sawblade adapter) slides into the upper holder. Tighten the tensioner button until the saw blade has the required tension. Remove all tools and other objects from the saw table. Activate the current and allow the saw blade to run before starting to saw. The saw blade should run quietly. Use the saw-blade adapters included in the delivery to install saw blades for the compass saw. Fasten the saw blade adapter (for compass saws) to the saw blade. Make sure that the Allen bolts have Powercraft 5
