Load factor:
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 specifications 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 temperature.
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 specified rating and must then be allowed to idle for 70% of the cycle.

L_WA^MA sound power level: 88.4 dB 74.8 dB
Wear ear-muff s.
The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.
Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.
- Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
• Service and clean the appliance regularly.
• Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance. - Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
- Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.

GB
5. Before starting the equipment
5.1 General information
- All covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted before the machine is switched on.
• It must be possible for the blade to run freely. - When working with wood that has been processed before, watch out for foreign bodies 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)
- 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 to be a nuisance.
- 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 the following size:
Item
Quantity
Hex screws M8 4
Gaskets ∅ 8 mm 4
Washers ∅ 8 mm 4
Hex nuts M8 8
- 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.
Description:
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 absorbing effect.
Mounting the saw on a workbench, see the Figure (2) List of components in the illustration:
A: Saw body
B: Foam rubber support
C: Worktable
D: Flat gasket
E: Washer
F: Hex nut
G: Blocking nut
H: Hex screw
5.3 Assembly
Caution! Pull out the power plug before carrying out any maintenance and conversion work on your fretsaw.
5.3.1 Mounting the saw blade guard and the sawdust blower facility (Fig. 4/5/6)
- Put the retention bolt (9) on the radial arm (19).
- Slide the saw blade guard (10) onto the retention bolt (9).
- Insert the screw (20) through the bore hole of the retention bolt (9) and the saw blade guard (10).
• Use the nut (21) to secure the screw from falling out. - The saw blade guard can be fixed at various heights with the clamping screw (11).
- Mount the blow-off device (16) as shown in Fig. 6.
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 holder (13), pressing down the upper pendulum arm as you do so.
- Then take the blade out of the bottom blade holder (8).
- Pull the blade up and out through the table insert (18).
• 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 (14) anticlockwise (right-hand thread).
5.3.3 Tilting the saw table (Fig. 8)
• Undo the locking screw (5).
- Tilt the table (7) to the left until the indicator (17) points to the required angle value on the scale (6).
Important: For precision work you should first carry out a trial cut and then re-adjust the tilt angle as required.

6. Operation
6.1 Please note:
- 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 blade.
• 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 off.
- 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
- 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 starting: Before you remove or change the blade, always set the switch to „0“ position and pull the power plug out of the socket.
- To carry out internal cuts in a panel: Remove the blade as described in Section 5.3.2
- Drill a hole in the panel in question.
- Place the panel on the saw table with the drilled hole above the access hole.
- Install the blade through the hole in the panel and adjust the blade tension.
- When you have completed the internal cuts, remove the blade from the blade holders (as described in Section 5.3.2) and take the panel off the table.
6.5 Adapter for jigsaw blades (Fig. 8/9)
- Remove the saw blade as described in 5.3.2.
- Now insert the fretsaw blade (a) in the adapter.
• First remove the table insert (18). - 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
