8.7 Flexible Driver Attachment(fig.18, 19)
Safety Rules for Flexible Driver(fig.18, 7)
Do not operate the flexible shaft with a sharp or multiple bends. Ensure that there are no sharp residual
bends or kinks in the Flexible Driver before the operation.
Over bending the shaft can generate excessive heat on the jacket or hand piece and may cause the
Flexible Driver to disengage from the tool.
The minimum recommended bend radius is 6”(fig 20).
Always hold the hand piece firmly in your hands during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor,
as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the shaft to twist.
Not for use with router bits or other large diameters (1” or larger) bits. Large diameter bits can cause
kickback and loss of control when used with the Flexible Driver.
Do not remove end ferrule while tool is running. The cable will become loose from the jacket and will

Directions for use
With small milling cutters / grinding pins: Use a high speed.
With large milling cutters / grinding pins: Use a low speed.
Precision work / engraving: Hold the drive unit like a pen.
Rough work: Hold the drive unit like a hammer.
Tips
Exert only moderate pressure on the workpiece and allow it to be processed at uniform speed.
You will not finish your work sooner by exerting heavy pressure. On the contrary, heavy pressure will cause the
drive unit to slow down or stop and will overload the motor.
For your own safety, use a vise or screw clamp to secure small workpieces.

9. Operation
9.1 General information
The saw does not cut wood automatically. Rather, the opera- tor must push and guide the wood toward the
moving saw blade.
The teeth only cut the wood on the downstroke.
The wood must be slowly pushed and guided toward the saw blade, since the teeth of the blade are very small.
Those who want to use the saw must go through the process of learning how to do so. During this time, a few
blades will invariably break.
When cutting thicker wood, special attention must be paid not to bend or twist the saw blade.
Handling the saw blade properly increases its service life.
9.2 On/off switch (16)
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
9.3 Work lamp operation (fig. 4)
1 ． Switch the machine on as described in 10.2.
2．
The work lamp (21) may not be switched on/and off with the work lamp on/off switch (22).
9.4 Stroke rate controller (fig. 2)
The stroke rate controller (19) 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 (19) clock- wise to increase the stroke rate. Turning
anti-clockwise lowers the stroke rate.
9.5 Operating modes (fig. 1, 2)
The scroll saw is able to be operated manually or via the foot pedal.
9.5.1 Manual controls
1 ． Ensure that the machine is switched on.
2 ． Set the operating mode selection switch (18) to the “M” position to operate the saw manually.
3．
Use the stroke rate controller (19) to set the appropriate stroke rate for the material (see 10.4)
9.5.2 Foot pedal controls
1. Ensure that the machine is switched on.
2. Set the operating mode selection switch (18) to the “F” position to operate the saw via the foot pedal (8).
3. The stroke rate may now be regulated via the foot pedal position. If you depress the foot pedal (8)
completely, you will reach the maximum 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 stroke rate controller (19).
9.6 Making inside cuts
This scroll saw allows inside cuts in workpieces without damaging the outside or the circumference of
the workpiece.
1. Remove the saw blade (23) as described in 9.3.
2. Drill a hole into the workpiece.
3. Place the workpiece with the drilled hole over the open- ing of the table inlay (27) on the saw table (6).
4. Install the saw blade (23) through the drilled hole in the workpiece and set the blade tension.
5. After completing the inside cut, remove the saw blade (23) from the blade holders (as described in 9.3).
6. Remove the workpiece from the table.
9.7 Miter cutting (fig. 14)
WARNING
Be especially careful when making miter cuts. The angle of the saw table makes it easier for the
workpiece to slip. There is a danger of injury.
1. To carry out miter cuts adjust the distance of the blade guard for worktable accordingly.
2. Swivel the saw table by loosening the locking lever (15) and tilting the table (6) to the desired position.
3. Tighten the locking lever (15)
9.8 Flexible Driver attachment (fig 17, 18, 19)
1. Run-In before Operation
For optimum performance, allow your new Flexible Driver attachment to run at high speed on your
rotary tool in a vertical position for 2minutes before use.
2. Disengagement of the Flexible Driver
The flexible shaft may become disengaged if the motor of your rotary tool is not elevated Higher than
the working end of the Flexible Driver.
3. Flexible Shaft Lubrication
The Flexible Driver should be lubricated after every 25-30 hours of use. To lubricate, Unscrew the
Flexible Driver assembly from the motor housing. Pull the center core out of the Flexible Driver
assembly. Wipe a very thin film automotive wheel bearing grease on to the center core and reinsert it
back into the shaft. To prevent damage to tool do not over grease shaft.
Too much grease will cause the unit to overheat.
Reattach the Flexible Driver to the rotary tool.
WARNING : Must put the Flexible Driver back to the clip(fig 18, 54) when
you are done.
