General power tool safety warnings
⚠ WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoe hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or screwdriver before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according to these instructions. taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Connect a suitable chip extraction system (not included in the scope of delivery) to the extract connection (15) (see fig. 13, sample figure).
ATTENTION: Check and clean the suction channels at regular intervals.
12. Operation
12.1 General information
- The saw does not cut wood by itself. The user makes cutting possible by guiding the wood into the moving saw blade.
- The teeth only cut the wood on the down stroke.
- The wood must be fed slowly into the saw blade as the teeth of the saw blade are very small.
- Anyone who wants to use the saw requires a certain amount of learning time. During this time some blades are sure to break.
- When cutting thick timbers, particular care must be taken to ensure that the saw blade is not bent or twisted.
- Working carefully will increase the service life of the saw blade.
12.2 On/Off switch (16) (fig. 2)
- Switching on: Press the "I" button.
- Switching off: Press the "0" button.
ATTENTION
The machine is equipped with a safety switch against reactivation if the voltage drops.
If the scroll saw is switched on and the power supply in the mains is interrupted, the scroll saw remains switched off, even if the power supply is re-established. Press the "I" button to switch it on.
12.3 Work lamp operation (fig. 4)
- Press the on/off switch (21) to switch the work lamp (20) on and off.
12.4 Speed regulator (fig. 2)
The stroke rate controller (18) allows you to set the stroke rate according to the material to be cut. In case of soft material, we recommend high stroke rates, while strokes rates should be kept low for hard material. Turn the stroke rate controller (18) clockwise to increase the stroke rate. Turning anti-clockwise lowers the stroke rate.
12.5 Operating modes (fig. 1, 2)
The scroll saw is able to be operated manually or via the foot pedal.

01 M STOP F 01 M STOP F - - +12.5.1 Manual control
- Ensure that the machine is switched on.
- Set the operating mode selection switch (17) to the "M" position to operate the saw manually.
- Use the speed regulator (18) to set the appropriate stroke rate for the material (see 12.4).
12.5.2 Foot pedal controls
-
Ensure that the machine is switched on.
-
Set the operating mode selection switch (17) to the "F" position to operate the saw via the foot pedal (7).
- The stroke rate may now be regulated via the foot pedal position. If you depress the foot pedal (7) completely, you will reach the maxim stroke rate.
CAUTION
When changing from foot pedal controls to manual controls, the machine starts automatically. The stroke rate corresponds with the stroke rate set on the speed regulator (18).
12.5.3 Stop position
If the operating mode selection switch (17) is to the Stop position (middle position), the machine stops.
CAUTION
stroke the machine is not switched off in this position. When changing from foot pedal controls to manual control, the machine starts automatically. The stroke rate corresponds with the stroke rate set on the speed regulator (18).
12.6 Making inside cuts
This scroll saw allows inside cuts in workpieces without damaging the outside or the circumference of the workpiece.
- Remove the saw blade (22) as described in 11.1.
- Drill a hole into the workpiece.
- Place the workpiece with the drilled hole over the opening of the table inlay (26) on the table (6).
- Install the saw blade (22) (as described in 11.1) through the drilled hole in the workpiece and set the blade tension.
- After completing the inside cut, remove the saw blade (22) from the blade holders (as described in 11.1).
- Remove the workpiece from the table.
12.7 Carrying out mitre cuts (Fig. 14) WARNING
Be particularly careful when making mitre cuts. The incline of the saw table supports slipping. There is a danger of injury.
- To carry out mitre cuts, adjust the distance between the saw blade guard (5) mounted to the retaining device (24) and the work table accordingly.
- Swivel the table by loosening the knurled nut (14) and tilting the saw table (6) into the desired position.
- Tighten the knurled nut (14).
