Carry out a test run for precise machining: Test the angle set by making a sample cut and checking the respective number of degrees on the workpiece using an angle gage. Readjust the pointer (27) if necessary.

8. Operation

8.1 Note:

• The saw does not cut wood automatically. Rather, the operator must push and guide the wood toward the moving saw blade.
• The teeth only cut the wood on the downstroke.
• The wood must be slowly pushed and guided toward the saw blade, since the teeth of the blade are very small.
• Those who want to use the saw must go through the process of learning how to do so. During this time, a few blades will invariably break.
• When cutting thicker wood, special attention must be paid not to bend or twist the saw blade.
• Handling the saw blade properly increases its service life.

8.2 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Item 14)

• Press the "l" button to switch on.

The speed regulator (15) allows you to set the blade speed appropriate to the material to be cut. We recommend high speeds for soft material and low speeds for hard material. Turning the speed regulator (15) to the right increases rotational speed.

8.5 Inside cutting

One of the features of this fretsaw is that it can make cuts inside a panel without damaging the outside or edges. To cut inside a panel:

• Remove the saw blade as described in section 7.3.2.
• Drill a hole in the panel in question.
• Lay the panel with the hole over the access hole in the saw table.
• Insert the saw blade through the hole in the panel and set the blade tension.
• When you have finished cutting, remove the saw blade from the blade holders (as described in section 7.3.2) and lift the panel off the table.

8.6 Miter cutting

To carry out miter cuts adjust the distance of the blade guard for worktable accordingly. Swivel the saw table by loosening the locking lever (12) and tilting the table to the desired position (Fig. 12). Tighten the locking lever.

Important.

Be especially careful when making miter cuts. The angle of the saw table makes it easier for the workpiece to slip. Risk of injury.
