vacuum cleaner. To this end, connect the vacuum cleaner at the pipe
union 19 (Fig. 1) using the attached rubber adapter.
Working with the mechanical fret saw
1. Set the stroke rate with the speed regulation 16 (Fig. 1). High stroke
rate for wood, aluminum, brass and boards. Low stroke rates for
plastics, particularly thin materials and for extremely fine work.
2. Adjust the saw blade guide. For this, release screw 6(Fig. 1), set the
saw blade guide 17 (Fig. 1) as deeply as possible and re-tighten the
screw.
3. When sawing, press the work piece firmly onto the table, in order to
avoid vibration. Then saw the work piece carefully and with little feed.
Thus: high pressure against the base plate – little pressure against the
saw blade.
4. When sawing with the longitudinal stop, release the clamping screw 1
(Fig. 6), set the stop and retighten the clamping screw.
5. When sawing with the angle stop, release the clamping screw 1(Fig.
7), adjust the angles according to the scale and retighten the clamping
screw. Then press the work piece lightly against the stop and slide the
stop along the groove 2.
Note:
Please remember that with a mechanical fret saw, the saw blade
fundamentally tries to follow the grain of the wood. For frequent
even cuts a circular saw is there-fore always preferable to a
mechanical fret saw.
Maintenance
Important
Pull out the mains plug prior to commencing all maintenance and
repair work.
Replacing the toothed belt
If the toothed belt becomes worn it is possible to change it yourself. You
can order replacement belts from the PROXXON central service team.
1. Remove mains plug.
2. Remove the saw blade.
3. Unscrew screws 2(Fig. 8) in the base plate 1.
4. Unscrew screws 4in the lower part of the housing 3.
5. Unscrew screws 3(Fig. 9) and remove the base plate 2from the
transmission 1.
6. Unscrew screws 1(Fig. 10) and remove the guide plate 2 with piston
3.
7. Unscrew the motor attachment screws 4inside the transmission
case 8and pull out the motor 5with pinion.
8. Unscrew the threaded pins of the pulley 6using an Allen key and pull
out the shaft with eccentric cam 7.
9. Remove pulley 6and insert new toothed belt.
10. Position the pulley 6with toothed belt in the transmission case in
such a way that the shaft with eccentric cam can be re-inserted.
11. Insert the motor 5back into the transmission case and put the
toothed belt on the motor pinion (this requires sensitive fingers and
patience).
12. Re-bolt the motor with the transmission case.
13. Grease piston 3with the eccentric cam, fasten guide
plate 2.
14. Tighten the threaded pin of the pulley 6.
15. Re-screw the transmission to the base plate, attach the lower part
of the housing and fasten the base plate to the housing.
