cing them. It is dangerous to connect the plug of a loose
cable to a wall socket.

cautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, inclu-
ding the following. Read all these instructions before
attempting to operate this product.

5. Store idle tools
When not is use, tools should be stored in dry, high,
or locked-up place, out of reach of children.
6. Don’t force tool
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was intended.
7. Use right tool
Don’t force small tools or attachments to do the job
of heavy duty tool. Don’t use tools for purposes not
intended.
8. Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid
footwear are recommended when working out-
doors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
9. Use safety glasses
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty.
10.Don’t abuse cord
Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect it
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
11.Secure work
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
12.Don’t overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13.Maintain tools with care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically
and, if damaged, have repaired by authorized service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
14.Disconnect tools
When not in use, before servicing, and when chan-
ging accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
15.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjus-
ting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it on.
16.Avoid unintentional starting
Don’t carry plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
17.Outdoor use extension cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
18.Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
19.Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an autho-
rized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this instructions manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized center. Do not
use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
20.Warning
The use of any other accessory or attachment other
than recommended in this operation instructions or
the catalog may present a risk of personal injury.
21.Have your tool repaired by an expert
This electric appliance is in accordance with the rele-
vant safety rules repairing of electric apliances may be
carried out only by experts otherwise it may cause
considerable danger for the user.
22.Connect the dust extraction device
Whenever there are facilities for fitting a dust extrac-
tion system, make sure it is connected and used.
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
1. Check the following
•Make sure that your machine is correct for your power
supply.
•Make sure the socket is earthed;
•Make sure the cable and socket are in good condition,
i.e. not frayed or damaged.
2. Do not use long extension cables
Use only earthed extension cables.
3. A grinding stone is fragile
The stone is easily damaged when being dropped, hit,
etc. Always grind with the face of the grinding stone,
never the sides. A cracked grinding stone must be
replaced immediately. Due to the high rotational
velocity the stone might disintegrate, causing acci-
dents.
4. Always wear safety glasses when grinding
5. Never operate the grinding machine without the
guard in place.
6. Make sure the guard and the tool rest are properly
adjusted and secured.
7. The maximum clearance between the tool rest and
the grinding stone must never exceed 1-1.5 mm.
8. Use the stone only for its intended purpose, e.g. for
grinding tools, never for heavy-duty construction
work.
Use only grinding stones that state the following:
•Name of the manufacturer;
•Binding material;
• Dimensions;
•Maximum speed.
9. Never rebore the arbor hole in the grinding stone to
widen the diameter.
10. The maximum admissable rotational velocity of the
grinding stone may not exceed the velocity mentio-
ned on the stone.
11. For safe grinding it is best to bolt the machine to the
bench.
BEFORE YOU OPERATE THE MACHINE
1. Make sure the switch is “OFF” before you plug in the
machine.
2. Keep the cable away from moving parts.
IMMEDIATELY SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE
WHEN
•Interruption in the mains plug, mains lead or mains
lead damage.
•Defect switch.
•Smoke or stench of scorched isolation.

•Remove all tools and other objects from the saw
table. Activate the current and allow the saw blade to run
before starting to saw. The saw blade should run quietly.
Use the saw-blade adapters included in the delivery
to install saw blades for the compass saw.
•Fasten the saw-blade adapter (for compass saws) to
the saw blade. Make sure that the Allen bolts have
been sufficiently tightened to prevent the saw blade
from being fastened obliquely and thus sawing inaccu-
rately.
•Install the assembly in the holder in accordance with
the instruction 'Installing the saw blade'.
REMOVING THE SAW BLADE
Always disconnect the machine from the mains
before carrying out any maintenance work.
•Loosen the tensioner head until the spring is slack.
•Carefully push down the upper saw-blade holder and
slightly lift the blade in order to facilitate its removal.
•Allow the blade to drop down slightly and push it for-
ward, in order to loosen it from the lower holder.
USING THE SCROLL SAW MACHINE
•The saw blade saws only during the downward
stroke.
•Using both hands, slowly and with minimum pressure
push the workpiece across the table towards the saw
blade. This will prevent the blade from breaking or
twisting.
•For optimal results, the saw blade must be sharp.
•Use the correct saw blade. The selection of the saw
blade depends on the thickness of the wood and the
desired cut. Generally speaking, the thinner and har-
der the wood, the finer the teeth of the saw blade
must be. Use a narrow blade to saw tight bends.
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the machine from the mains
before carrying out any maintenance work.
The machine is designed to function faultlessly for a long
period and with a minimum of maintenance. Extend its lif-
espan by regularly cleaning the machine and treating it
correctly.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the machine with a soft cloth, preferably
after each use. Keep the ventilator slot free of dust and
other deposits.
Remove any tenacious deposits with a soft cloth moiste-
ned with soap. Do not use solvents (petrol, alcohol,
ammonia, etc.) as they will damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine does not need lubricating.
Faults
If a fault arises (due to e.g. element wear), contact the
service address listed on the warranty card.
ENVIRONMENT
We deliver the machine in sturdy packing in order to
prevent transport damage. Although the packing is
mostly made of reusable materials, please recycle it.
