Before starting the equipment
General information
All covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted before the machine is switched on.
It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
When working with wood that has been processed before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails or screws
etc.
Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that the machine’s
moving parts run smoothly.
Before you connect the machine to the power supply, make sure the data on the rating plate is the same as that
for your mains.
Assembly
Caution: Pull out the power plug before carrying out any maintenance and conversion work on your fretsaw.
For greater stability, fasten the equipment in addition to a workbench or similar (Fig. 8). Suitable fastening materials
such as screws etc. are available from your dealer.
