7Working with the saw
7.1 General information for working with mechanical fret saw
Themechanical fret sawispredominantly amachineforsawing
curvesand precisesections. A typical applicationisshown in fig.7.
Thework piecemustbecarefully guidedbythe operator.
Note: Me-
chanical fret saws arenormally operatedwithoutlengthstop,as the
sawbladelosesitslineíf forcedin,particularly in the grain ofwood.
Pleasenote that thesawblade only saws in reversemotioninthedi-
rectioninwhich the teethpoint.
Forgoodresults,pleasenote thefollowingpoints:
–Whensawing, press thework piece onto thework plate (fig.7),
guideby feelingand withlittlepower;morepressure onthework
plate, less pressureagainst thesawblade.
–Makesure that thework pieceis lyingproperly onthesaw table
(norburrs orsawdust)

–Adapt thefeedto therequirementsbysaw blade, speedand work
piecematerial.
–Hard materials,finesawbladesand thickerwork piecesdonot “tol-
erate”asmuch feedassoftmaterials,roughsaw bladesand thin
work pieces. Youcan also experimentwithvarious speeds.
–Guide thework pieceslowly into thesawblade, particularly if the
bladeis very thin and the teethvery fine orifthework pieceis very
thick.
–Only useperfectsawblades.
–Donot let thedevice operate unsupervised.
–Carefully mark out/block thecheck line.
–Makesure thereis goodlighting.
–Always work withconnectedvacuum cleanerand carefully set the
air nozzle (8, fig.1).
–Youwill achieve thebestresultsifthewoodthickness is under
25 mm .
–Withwoodthicknessesofgreaterthan 25 mm, thework piece
mustbevery carefully guidedto stopthesawbladefromjam-
ming, bending, twisting orbreaking.
–Forprecisecutting, note that thesawbladewill always try to fol-
lowthedirectionofthefibre (appliesparticularly to thin sawblades).
7.1.1 Selecting the saw blade
As alreadymentioned, thecorrectselectionofmaterial has avery
greatinfluence onthequalityoftheresult.The tablebelowshould
serveas asmall guide.Extensive experiencewithmanymaterials and
typesofsaw bladeis, ofcourse, always helpful withselection. You
can experimenthere.
Tip: Thesawbladesaremostly only particularly worn atplaceswhere
the teethareparticularly highly utilisedwhensawingand, therefore,
becomebluntvery quickly.To“useup” thenon-worn teethand thus
increase the edge life ofthesawingblades,youcan artificially“raise”
thebearingsurfaceforthework piecesomewhat.
Todo this,simply secureasmooth, table-sizedunderlay withtherequired
thickness to thesaw table, using, forexample, double-sidedsticky tape.
Thenon-worn partsofthesawbladearenowsawing thework piece.
This is particularly sensibleif youoftensaw very hard and wear-in-
tensivematerials withthin blades.

7.1.2 Selecting the speed
This representationcan, ofc
ourse, only giveinstructions onthe gen-
eral directionto take.Asintheprevious section,youhave to "exper-
iment”alittle to find the optimal result.Theappropriate speedalso,
ofcourse, depends onthebladeused, thematerial ofthework piece,

7.1.3 Possible causes of faults
Thefollowingcausesmay break thesawblade:
–If bladeis tensionedtoo tightly ornot tightly enough
–Mechanical overloading ofthebladeby feeding too quickly.
–Bending ortwisting ofthebladewhenturning thework piece too
quickly whencuttingcurves.
–Whenthewear limit ofthesawbladehas beenreached.
–If thescrews are tightenedonsaw bladeswithcross pin.
7.1.3.1 Set saw blade alignment (fig. 2)
In avery fewcases(slantedcutting edge in thework piece, strong
bladedriftduring operation)itcould benecessary to makeminorad-
justmentsto thebladealignmentat theuppersaw blademount (see
pos. 2, fig.2).Byrotating thesawblademount, thesawbladealign-
mentwill bechangedasdesired.
1.Clamp thesawbladeand check theparallelism ofthesawblade
usingan angle 5 (orangledwork piece) arrangedasshown in the
graphic.
2.Thesawbladecan bealignedifnecessary. Releasescrew11 us-
ingan Allenkeyand swivelthesawblademountinto thecorrect

as shown in fig.7.
Remember:Adapt thefeedaccording to thematerial, thesawblade
and thework piece thickness. Hard materials,finesawbladesand
thick work piecesdonot “tolerate”asmuch feedassoftmaterials,
roughsaw bladesand thin materials.
Youcan also experimentwithvarious speeds.

7.2.1 Inside cuts (fig. 8)
Caution!
Always remove themains plugbeforereleasing thesawblade.
If youmustalsomakeinsidecutswhenworkingwithyour mechan-
ical fret saw,proceedasfollows:
1.Drill aholein theinsidepart 1 to becut out ofyour work piece.
2.Take thesawbladefromthe topsaw blade guide 2.Proceedasshown
in 6.7.3.1.and in 6.7.3.2, depending onthe type ofsaw bladeused.
3.Push thesawblade throughthedrill hole.Reattach sawbladeat
the top. Tensionthesawbladeproperly again.
4.Cut out the openingand remove thework piece once thesawblade
has beenremovedagain.
Tip: If youdrill theholein such away thatitdoesnot touch thelater
insidecontour,youcan allowthesawline to run tangentially into the
contour.This producesanice evensawing edge.
7.2.2 Grain cuts
Forgrain cuts, the tableis simply tiltedbytherequiredamount.This
works as follows:
1.Slightly loosenknurledscrew1 (fig.2) and alignsaw table 2 to the
requiredvalue, usingscale 9 onindicator8.
2.Tightenknurledscrew1.
3.Press thework pieceparticularly firmly against the tableforagrain
cut.
