4Preparation for sawing
4.1 Tool assembly
1. Turn off main switch (3) and pull power plug.
2. Unscrew the clamping screw (12).
3. Remove tension pulley (13).
4. Remove old saw blade (14) and put on new one.
(please ensure that the blade is fixed exactly on the centering ring of the workholder.
5. Put the tension pulley (13) back on.
6. Tighten the clamping screw (12) and check the running of the blade.
7. Insert power plug into socket.
4.2 Working with the model table with magnetic retention (Option)
The model table with magnetic retention is suitable for a variety of model systems.
With the three-jaw chuck your work is easily and securely fixed, trimming from top to

6
bottom with adjusted angle. Optionally the laser guide might be helpful for fine
adjustment (see accessories).
1. Release locking screw (25), if the motor arm cannot be moved.
2. Adjust the balance weight of the motor arm by turning the weight (16) and the lock
nut (17) on the thread rod (lifting and lowering force). Move the sawing blade
upwards so that you can easily access the base (8).
3. Move the suction funnel (6) upwards by releasing the lock lever so that the exhaust
is approximately located on a level with the model.
4. Put the magnetic table (7) on its base (8) .
5. Adjust the depth stop (19) with the wing screw (20) so that the cutting blade doesn’t
touch the magnetic table (7)
6. Use the locking screw (23) for opening the grip jaws and fasten your plaster model.
7. With lever (24) the table’s angle can be adjusted. Adjust the magnetic table’s
position, if necessary lower the saw blade close to the model. If available, the laser
guide will help you for exact positioning.
8. Fasten the model table by pressing the switch (9)
9. Adjust the speed (10),
0 = approx. 1.500 t/min. for a carbide cutting blade
5 = approx. 6.000 t/min. for a standard diamond cutting blade
7 = approx. 9.000 t/min. for a diamond cutting blade, fine cut
10. The motor starts after pressing simultaneously the push button at the housing (15)
and at the handle (1).
11. Slowly saw into the model by softly lowering the motor swivel arm and if necessary
adjust the position by releasing the magnet and adjusting the table position. Please
pay attention that the saw blade doesn’t swing.
4.3 Working with the model table MODEL TRAY ® (Option), with suction adaptor
With the special model table of the MODEL TRAY ® Systems you’ll profit from this
special model system. The model tray table was optimized especially for use with the
UNICUT model saw with two-hand operation.

7
1. For positioning the MODEL TRAY ® table first release the locking screw (25) and
move the saw blade upwards, so that you can easily access the base (8)
2. Move the suction funnel (6) completely downwards by releasing the locking lever.
3. Move the suction adaptor (29) top down the suction funnel, improving suction
performance with your MODEL TRAY ® System
4. Position the MODEL TRAY ® table (18) on its designated base (8) and plug into
the position holes (26). Put the jack (27) into the side wall to the right of the
pushbutton (15). Secure the magnetic table with the table locking (32)
5. Release the depth stop (19) with the wing screw (20) and let it slide down (not
necessary for the MT table)
6. Lower the cutting blade with the motor arm up to maximum depth and fix the arm
with the locking screw (25)
7. For fixing the model –tray model move the lock lever (31) to the left so that the
model holder is now freely moving. Loosening the model tension screw (23) the
clamping pin (33) may be brought into the front position. Put the model-tray-model
with the corresponding notch on the model clamping pin (33) and turn the model
tension screw (23) to the left until the model clamping strap (34) with the retention
adapter (35) has tightly fixed the model. Please pay attention that the model-tray
model is equipped with a retention adapter ¾ for models of Sockler 3 + 4. For
models of Sockler No. 0 the retention adapter no. 0 may be ordered from model-
tray GmbH. Models with Sockler No. 1 don’t need any retention adapter.
8. Adjust the required sawing position by moving the whole model holder on the slide
to the right or to the left or rotate it. If available the laser guide might be helpful for
precise positioning. For sawing diverging stumps the movable locating ring (36) is
lifted, while the model holder may be inclined by up to 15°. Required position is
fixed by turning the fixing lever (31) to the right.

8
9. Adjust the speed depending on saw blade (10):
Carbide saw blade:
Cutting width: 0,3 mm Adjustment: 0 = approx. 1.500 t./min.
Cutting: 2 - 4 hours after finishing model or
up to 4 – 8 hours after storage in a hydrobox.
Diamond cutting blade „B“:
Cutting width: 0,36 mm Adjustment: 5 = approx. 6.000 t./min.
Cutting: 8 hours after finishing the model at earliest
Diamond cutting blade „SD“:
Cutting width: 0,20 mm Adjustment: 7 = approx. 9.000 t./min.
Cutting: 8 hours after finishing the model at earliest
10. The motor starts by pressing simultaneously the pushbutton at the handle (1) and
at the model tray table (15) or alternatively by simultaneously pressing the
pushbutton at the housing (15) and at the model-tray® model table (15).
11. Sawing is performed by moving forward the model table guidance (28) slowly from
the front into the model. Please avoid swinging of the saw blade. If necessary,
adjust position by removing magnet and table adjustment.
By using the standard table’s function (see chapter 4.2) the MODEL TRAY ® table may also
be used for sawing from top to bottom. Please pay attention to the correct depth-stop (19) and
release the locking screw (25). In case of dust formation additionally remove the suction
adaptor (29).
Attention:
During positioning please pay attention that the saw cuts don’t cross. Regarding
diagonal cuts always do a parallel cut as well so that the diagonally cut stump
segments may later be removed from the model-tray®-Sockler.

5Troubleshooting
•Clean dirty tools regularly to ensure cutting accuracy
•Cutting blade runs out of true:
- Adjust speed
- Replace blunt tools
•Cutting blade cuts crooked:
- Replace cutting blade
•Device does not work after having been turned on
(Main switch (4) does not shine after switching on):
- Fuse has blown (disconnect device and change fuse. The fuse holder is located at the
device’s plug).
- When using the MODEL TRAY ® table the jack is unplugged.
•Laser is not in focus (Accessories)
- see chapter 11 for optimum laser adjustment
•Dust formation during cutting:
- Check suction ( Filter might be blocked or full)
- Suction funnel (6) has wrong height (Correction by releasing the lever and shifting the
funnel upwards or downwards)
