10 Care and Maintenance
10.1 Replacing the saw blade
(see fig. 5a and 5b):
If the saw blade is worn or you wish to use
another type or a cutting disc, you can quickly
and easily exchange them.
Please note:
Replacement saw blades and a corundum
cutting disc for the machine can be obtained
on the market. Also observe the "Accessories"
section of this manual.
Please see our device catalogue or consult
your nearest dealer!
CAUTION!
Disconnect the mains plug for all care and
maintenance works!
1. Unscrew Allen screw 1 in saw blade pro-
tection 2 and fold saw blade protection up
as shown in fig. 5a.
2. Using an Allen key, unscrew screw 4 in the
centre of saw blade 3 (see fig. 5b). Hold
the shaft at the flat spot with an open-
ended spanner, Attention: Left-handed-
thread!
3. Remove old saw blade. Mind flat washer 5
here.
4. Attach new saw blade and tighten with flat
washer 5 and screw 4.
CAUTION!
Pay close attention to the running direction of
the saw blade. When viewed from the front
side of the saw, the teeth must point down-
wards!
Be careful when using the corundum cutting
disc (accessories, item no.: 28 729):
The corundum cutting disc is very sensitive to
bending. Do not touch the disc when releasing
or tightening the fastening screw. The disc
breaks very easily.
5. Fold down saw blade protection 2 once
more and tighten using Allen screw 1.
CAUTION!
Disconnect the mains plug for all care and
maintenance works!
10.2 Cleaning
CAUTION!
Always disconnect the mains plug before
doing any cleaning, setting, maintenance or
repair works!
NOTE:
The machine is mostly maintenance free. For a
long service life, the device should be cleaned
after every use with a soft cloth, hand brush or
a soft brush. Even a vacuum cleaner can be
recommended. Ensure all ventilation slots are
free from obstruction.
External cleaning of the housing can be car-
ried out using a soft, possibly moist cloth.
While doing so, a mild detergent or other suit-
able cleansing agent can be used.
WARNING!
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use
gasoline, naphtha, acetone, lacquer thinner, or
similar highly volatile solvents to clean the
scroll saw.
Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, or pene-
trating oils to come in contact with the plastic
parts. They contain chemicals that can dam-
age or destroy plastics!
Also some of these products have low flash
points and could explode if used to clean the
saw.
NEVER smoke while using solvents: Smoking
near solvents could ignite an explosion or fire
and cause serious injury.
ALWAYS WORK in a well ventilated area to
prevent the accumulation of dangerous fumes,
continuesly supply the work area with a con-
stant source of fresh air:
Lack of ventilation while using solvents could
cause serious personal health risks, fire, or
environmental hazards.
When servicing use only PROXXON replace-
ment parts.
