Sawdust blower facility

The fretsaw is intended for cutting square-edged

timber or wood-like workpieces. Round materials

may only be cut with suitable holding devices.

The machine is to be used only for its prescribed

purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case

of misuse. The user / operator and not the manu-

facturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of

any kind caused as a result of this.

Please note that our equipment has not been de-

signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial

applications. Our warranty will be voided if the

machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial

businesses or for equivalent purposes.

The equipment is to be operated only with suita-

ble saw blades. It is prohibited to use any type of

cutting-off wheel. To use the equipment properly

you must also observe the safety regulations, the

assembly instructions and the operating instruc-

tions to be found in this manual.

All persons who use and service the equipment

have to be acquainted with this manual and must

be informed about the machine’s potential ha-

It is also imperative to observe the accident pre-

vention regulations in force in your area.

The same applies for the general rules of health

The manufacturer will not be liable for any chan-

ges made to the machine nor for any damage

resulting from such changes.

Even when the equipment is used as prescribed

it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual

risk factors. The following hazards may arise in

connection with the machine’s construction and

Saw blade length: 127 mm

Max. cutting height at 90°: 57 mm

Max. cutting height at 45°: 27 mm

A load factor of S2 20 min (intermittent periodic

duty) means that you may operate the motor

continuously at its nominal power level (80 W) for

no longer than the time stipulated on the speci-

fi cations label (20 min). If you fail to observe this

time limit the motor will overheat. During the OFF

period the motor will cool again to its starting

Operating mode S6 30%: Continuous operation

with idling (cycle time 10 minutes). To ensure that

the motor does not become excessively hot, it

may only be operated for 30% of the cycle at the

specifi ed rating and must then be allowed to idle

for 70% of the cycle.

Wear protective gloves.

Even if you use this electric power tool in

accordance with instructions, certain resi-

dual risks cannot be rules out. The following

hazards may arise in connection with the

equipment’s construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust

5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 General information

All covers and safety devices have to be pro-

perly fitted before the machine is switched

It must be possible for the blade to run freely.

When working with wood that has been

processed before, watch out for foreign bo-

dies such as nails or screws etc.

Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make

sure that the saw blade is correctly fitted and

that the machine’s moving parts run smoothly.

Before you connect the machine to the power

supply, make sure the data on the rating plate

is the same as that for your mains.

5.2 Mounting the saw on a workbench (Fig. 2)

1. It is better to mount the saw on a solid wood

workbench rather than on a weak plywood

stand where vibrations and noise are certain

2. The tools and hardware needed to mount the

saw on a work bench are not supplied with

the saw. Be sure to use equipment of at least

3. A sound-absorbing foam rubber mat is not

supplied with the saw. It is strongly

recommended to use such a mat, however, in

order to minimize vibrations and noise.

Soft foam rubber mat: 450 x 250 x 13 mm

Do not overtighten the screws. Leave enough

scope for the foam rubber mat to develop a good

Slide the saw blade guard (10) onto the reten-

Insert the screw (20) through the bore hole of

the retention bolt (9) and the saw blade guard

Use the nut (21) to secure the screw from

The saw blade guard can be fixed at various

heights with the clamping screw (11).

Mount the blow-off device (16) as shown in

5.3.2 Changing the blade (Fig. 1/3/7)

Turn the clamping screw (14) clockwise in

order to take the tension off the blade (15).

Unscrew the left cover (4).

First take the blade out of the top blade hol-

Pull the blade up and out through the table

Install the new blade in reverse order.

Caution: Always insert the blade so that the

teeth point toward the saw table.

The blade can be inserted in slot a or b;

Slot a: For cuts along the axis of the radial arm.

Slot b: For cuts across the axis of the radial arm.

Tension the blade by turning the clamping screw

Important: For precision work you should

fi rst carry out a trial cut and then re-adjust

the tilt angle as required.

Your saw does not cut wood automatically.

For cutting to occur, you have to guide the

wood against the blade.

The teeth cut only on the down stroke of the

You have to guide the wood slowly against

the blade because the teeth are very small.

Every new user needs a certain training

period. You are certain to break a number of

blades at the beginning.

When cutting thick timber, be particularly

careful not to bend or twist the blade. This will

help to prolong blade life.

6.2 On/Off switch (Fig. 3 / Item 2)

Press the green button to switch the saw on.

Press the red button to switch the machine

Please note: The machine is equipped with a

safety switch to prevent it being switched on

again accidentally after a power failure.

6.3 Blade speed regulator (3)

The blade speed regulator allows you to set the

blade speed appropriate to the material to be cut.

6.4 Carrying out internal cuts

1. A feature of this fretsaw is that it allows you to

carry out internal cuts in a panel without

damaging it on the outside or circumference.

Warning! To avoid injury from accidental star-

ting: Before you remove or change the blade,

always set the switch to „0“ position and pull

the power plug out of the socket.

2. To carry out internal cuts in a panel: Remove

the blade as described in Section 5.3.2

3. Drill a hole in the panel in question.

4. Place the panel on the saw table with the

drilled hole above the access hole.

5. Install the blade through the hole in the panel

and adjust the blade tension.

6. When you have completed the internal cuts,

remove the blade from the blade holders (as

described in Section 5.3.2) and take the pa-

Then hook both adapters (22) on the two saw

blade holders (8/13).

Insert the saw blade as described in 5.3.2.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before star-

ting any cleaning work.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the

motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as

possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean

cloth or blow it with compressed air at low

We recommend that you clean the device

immediately each time you have finished

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist

cloth and some soft soap. Do not use

cleaning agents or solvents; these could

attack the plastic parts of the equipment. En-

sure that no water can seep into the device.

Lubricate the bearings of the guide rollers periodi-

cally with high-grade machine grease, but at least

after every 25-30 hours in operation.

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon

brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.

Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep

laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.

There are no parts inside the equipment which

require additional maintenance.
