Use as designated
The fretsaw may only be used to cut angular pieces of wood or wood-similar (plastic) workpieces.
Any other use will be considered a use in conflict with the designation. The manufacturer will not be liable for any consequential damage or injuries. Please be sure to know that our appliances have not been designed for industrial purposes.
Assembly
Fitting the saw to bench
To fit the saw, a massive-wood bench is better than a weak compressed board where vibrations and noise significantly affect your work.
Fixing materials necessary for assembly are not included in the supply.
Example of fixing materials:
4 M8 hex screws
4 8 mm flat gaskets
408mm washers
8 M8 hex nuts
Foam-rubber washer absorbing noise is also not included in the supply. However, we strongly recommend using such washer to reduce vibrations and noise. Rubber-foam washer specification: 450× 250× 13mm
Saw blade cover fitting
Loosen the nut on the saw blade cover and put the saw blade on the saw head. The nut is self-locking.
Changing the saw blade (original saw blades)
-
Clamping screw (pic. A/1) to be turned right to make the saw blade (pic. A/6) loosen.
Lift off the saw blade cover (pic. A/4). -
Loosen the bench insert (pic. A/20). In doing so, make sure the workpiece holder (pic. A10) is in the middle.
- By pressing the saw head, the saw blade can be released from the holder (pic. E).
Now fit a new saw blade in a reverse order and attach the disassembled parts. - By turning the strain screw (pic. A/1) to the left, the saw blade will get stretched.
The saw blade can be fitted in 2 various positions (pic. E-G)
Fitting the adapters of saw blades
- Remove the saw blade as specified under Changing the saw blade.
Just hang the adapters to the saw head (pic. H). - Now insert a laminated blade in the adapters. Tighten the adapters using an Allen key included in the supply.
Now refit the disassembled parts as specified under Changing the saw blade.
Tilting the saw bench -pic.1)
Loosen the stopping screw (pic. A/19) Tilt the saw bench (pic. A/7) to the left so that the scale (pic. B/15) shows the required angle.
Make sure the saw bench insert (pic. A/20) is fitted properly.
Before operation
- All covers and safety equipment must be properly installed before putting the appliance into operation.
The saw blade must run freely. - It is necessary to pay attention to undesirable items such as nails, screws, clamps in already processed wood. (Remove them if necessary).
- Before pressing On/Off, make sure the saw blade has been fitted properly and the saw blade tension is adjusted as appropriate and the moving parts are running smoothly.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure the details on the type label correspond to the system details.

Appliance to be used with RCD (safety switch) (stray current) 30mA only!
Installation
Please make sure the appliance is installed evenly and steadily on a solid surface with adequate lighting.
Make sure you have enough room to work safely and undisturbed.

Residual risks
The appliance has been designed according to the state of the art and recognised safety-technical regulations. However, there still may be some residual risks when working with the appliance.
- Risk of injury to fingers and hands by the saw blade.
- Risk of injury by throw-away workpieces in case of unprofessional guidance.
- Risk of electric shock when unspecified feeder cables are used.
Further, there may be some hidden residual risks despite all the preventive measures taken. - Residual risks can be minimised if Safety Instructions and Use as designated and the entire Operating Instructions are followed.
Plugging
Check regularly the feeder cables for any damage. Before that, the appliance must be unplugged! The feeder cable must be in accordance with applicable provisions of VDE and DIN. Feeder cable with H 07-RN marking to be used only. Sticking the type marking on the feeder cable is mandatory.
Defective feeder cables
Insulation gets often damaged on the electric feeder cables.
Possible causes:
Galls if feeder cables are guided in gaps under windows or doors.
Breaks as a result of unprofessional fixing or guiding of feeder cables.
Cutting-off as a result of the feeder cable being run over. Insulation damage by pulling the cable out of wall socket. Cracks as a result of insulation aging.
Feeder cables damaged in this manner must not be used - they are a risk to life due to the insulation damage!
Operation
- The saw does not cut wood automatically. The user activates cutting by guiding wood to the moving saw blade.
Teeth cut the wood only when being down.
Wood must be guided slowly to the saw blade as the saw blade teeth are very small. - Every person needs some time of training to handle the saw. During that time, several blades will certainly get broken.
- When cutting thicker pieces of wood, it is especially necessary to make sure the saw blade is not bent or turned. This will increase the life of the saw blade.
Fix the workpiece with the workpiece holder (pic. A/10) by adjusting the holder (pic. A/10) using the workpiece adjusting screw (pic. A/3) and fix the workpiece adjusting screw on the saw bench.
Best results are achieved with wood thinner than 20 mm.
The right saw blade
Small and narrow saw blades must be used for thin wood not thicker more than 6 mm.
Wider saw blades must be used to cut wood thicker than 6 mm.
With wider saw blades it is not possible to cut small and narrow curves as with thinner saw blades.
The saw blade gets worn more when processing plywood, hard wood and thick pieces of wood (from 19 mm).
Switching on/off (pic. B/14)
To switch the appliance on, press the green button (pic. B/14). To switch the appliance off, the red button (pic. B/14) must be pressed.
Caution: The appliance has been fitted with a safety switch against repeated switch-on after power failure.
Speed controller (pic. B/13)
With the stroke number controller you can set the number of strokes, depending on the cut material.
e.g. minimum setting 400min^-1 for hard materials and maximum setting 1,600min^-1 for soft materials and long-fibre materials.
Performance of inner cuts
- The fretsaw can be characterised by performing inner cuts in the board with no damage to the board outer side or circuit.
Caution: To prevent injuries due to accidental start of the appliance, the appliance must always be unplugged before removing or changing the saw blade. - To perform inner cuts in the board, remove the fretsaw blade as specified under Changing the saw blade.
- Drill a hole in the board with diameter of app. 6 mm where inner cuts are to be performed.
- Put the board with the hole on the saw bench over the inlet.
- Insert the saw blade in the board through the inlet and refit it up and down as specified under Changing the saw blade.
- After finishing the inner cut, remove the saw blade and the workpiece.

Treatment and servicing

The appliance must always be unplugged before any servicing/cleaning and other works on the appliance. Let the appliance cool down before any work and transport.
If feeder cables are worn out or damaged, they must be immediately replaced.
Bearings in arms need to be lubricated every 50 hours of operation.
For that purpose, put the fretsaw on side and apply a sufficient amount of SAE 20 oil on the shaft ends and brass bearings. Ideally, let oil absorb over night. Repeat the process on the other side of the saw.
Cleaning
Fallen chippings need to be regularly removed off the appliance.
Transport
The appliance must cool down before being transported.
Troubleshooting
The table shows possible failures, their causes and remedy options. If the problem still cannot be removed, contact a professional to help you.

Switch the appliance off and unplug it before any servicing and cleaning.
