4 Description of machine (also see fig. 1a and 1b)
The PROXXONmechanical fret sawisavery solid and robustly
designeddevice.The heavybase made ofcast material, item 7, forms
asolid basis for the expensive mechanism of the machine that is
elaborately and precisely supportedand drivenbyaparticularly quiet-
running and reliable inductionmotorwith2 adjustable speeds
(900/1400 rpm).
The areas ofapplicationare multifaceted. Your
DSH is particularly
suitable formould construction, precision engineering modelbuild-
ing and toymanufacture.Forthis reason, it is precisely the right tool
fordesigners, architects (modelbuilding) and carpenters.
The large-area, saw table 9 formitre cutscan be titledupto 45°, is
manufacturedfromaluminium die casting for the highest precision
and stability, and is then ground for optimal glide properties.
The arrangement of the sawblade holders item 2 and 10 allow the
use ofbothsaw bladeswithand without cross pin depending on the
area ofapplicationand the material of the tool. In the Proxxon
accessoriesrange youwill find the corresponding sawbladesforthe
respective task.We recommend that youuse only Proxxonsaw blades!
The replacement sawbladesare storedinthe “sawblade garage"
12, on the side of the panelling of the toparm.
The DSH saws soft woodupto a thickness of 50 mm, plastic up to
30 mm and non-ferrous metals up to 10 mm.
The sawcan also be usedwithout problemforseparating Plexiglas,
GRP, foam, rubber, leatherand cork.
And so that the dust doesnot obscure the view of the cutting line
whenworking, there are automatically drivenbellows withadjustable
air nozzle 8.Anadditional vacuum cleanercan also be connected.The
connecting piece 13 is
positionedat 90° to save space.
This guaranteesclean work.

instructions. Caution! Mains plug must not be connected.
3.Using an angle 5 on the saw table 2, check the right-hand angle
to the sawblade.The stopscrewispreset.Ifthis still has to be ad-
justed, youcan adjust the setting yourself using an Allenkey7, as
shown in fig. 2, once the counternut has beenloosened. Aftercor-
rect setting, tighten the counternut.Make sure that the stopscrew
doesnot go out ofpositioninthis process.
4.Check the “zero”setting of the indicator 8,
if necessary, correct af-
ter the fastening screwhas beenloosened. Forprecise working,
carry out sawing sample.
5.Saw asample fromapiece ofwoodand check the angle again, if
necessaryadjust the saw table 2, indicator 8 orstopscrew 3 as
shown in fig. 2.
6.4 Assembling the air nozzle (fig. 3)

6.6 Connecting the vacuum cleaner (fig. 4)
1.Place the vacuum hose 1 of the vacuum cleanerinthe connecting
piece 2.
2.Switch on the vacuumcleanerbefore sawing so that the sawdust is
vacuumedand the suctiondevice doesnot get blocked.
Forpracti-
cal reasons, the PRO XXONsuctioncontroldevice is recommended.
6.7 Saw blades
Caution!
Always remove the mains plug before performing the activities
describedh
ere.
6.7.1 Clamping in the saw blade (fig. 5a and 5b)
Standard bladeswithcross pins and hand(leaf) bladeswithout cross
pin can be clampedinto the sawblade mount.
Replace damaged orworn sawbladesimmediately.Theyre
present
asafetyrisk and worsen the work result.The best cutting perform-
ance and precisioncan only be achievedwithperfect sawblades.
Use PROXXON original sawb
ladesand carefully select suitable saw
bladesforthe intendedpurpose and material to be cut.WithProxxon,
there are also various fine toothings, flat and round blades, and some
withand without cross pin. Youwill find suggestions in these in-
structions.
6.7.1.1 Saw blades with cross pin (fig. 5a)
Sawbladeswithcross pin are particularly suitable forworking with
manyclosedinside cuts.
The sawblade can be quickly and comfort-
ably removedfromthe uppermount, looped through the work piece
and repositioned. Youwill find more precise informationinthe sec-
tion"Inside cuts".
Caution!
Sawbladeswithcross pins may only be hung in position. Do not
clamp the sawbladeswiththe cross pin additionally by means of the
cheese-head
screws. Risk offracture!
1.The the rotaryknob1 (Fig. 6) forsaw blade tensioning to the left
until the sawblade is loose.
2.Place sawblade 1 with the toothing pointing downwards through
the table opening 2 and fit in the bottommount 3.
3.Press lightly on the toparm 5 and fit blade in the uppermount 6,
see fig. 5a).
4.Release arm and by turning the rotarykno
b1 (Fig. 6) to the right,
set the sawblade tensioning.
5.Ifrequired, finely adjust the sawblade clamp as describedunder
6.7.2.
6.7.1.2 Saw blades with flat ends
(hand or leaf saw blades, see fig. 5b)
1.Turn rotaryknob1 (Fig. 6) forsaw blade tensioning to the left
until
the sawblade is loose.
2.Place sawblade 1 with the toothing at the bottom through the
table opening 2 and fit in the bottommount 3.The cheese-head
screw 4 may not be tightened!
Thenclamp the blade in the
mount by tightening the cheese-head screw 4 with the supplied
AllenkeywithTgrip 5. Caution: Make sure that the blade is
clampedreally far forward! This is where the clamping force is
at its greatest.
3.Press lightly on the toparm 6, introduce the sawblade into the
upperholder 7 and tensioninthe same way.
4.Release the arm and set the
sawblade tensioning by turning the
rotaryknob1 (Fig. 6) to the right.
5.Ifrequired, adjust the sawblade clamp as describedunder 6.7.2
6.7.2 Finely setting the correct saw tensioning (fig. 6)
Correct saw tensioning is an essential factorforac
lean work result.
This must, therefore, be carefully set.Ifoverorundertensioned, the
sawblade can lightly crack. Turn knurledbutton 1 to set the ten-
sioning.Ifthe buttonismovedto the right (clockwise), the sawblade
is more tightly tensioned. If it is turned to the left (anticlockwise) the
blade is loosened.
Acorrectly tensionedblade sounds aslight
tone if "plucked" like a
string.
6.7.3 Removing saw blade (fig. 5a and 5b)
6.7.3.1 Saw blades with cross pin (fig. 5a)
1.The the rotaryknob1 (Fig. 6) forsaw blade tensioning to the left

1.The the rotaryknob1 (Fig. 6) forsaw
blade tensioning to the left
until the sawblade is loose.
2.Openwingnut 8, the sawblade 1 releasesfromthe topmount 7.
3.
Opencheese-head screw 7 with the T grip Allenkey5, release saw
blade from the lowermount 3 and remove through the table opening.
7 Working with the saw
7.1 General information for working with mechanical fret saw
The mechanical fret sa wispredominantly amachine forsawing
curvesand precise sections. A typical applicationisshown in fig. 7.
The work piece must be carefully guidedbythe opera
tor.
Note:
Me-
chanical fret saws are normally operatedwithout lengthstop, as the
sawblade losesitsline íf forcedin, particularly in the grain ofwood.
Please note that the sawblade only saws in
reverse motioninthe di-
rectioninwhich the teethpoint.
For goodresults, please note the following points:
– Whensawing, press the work piece onto the work pla
te (fig. 7),
guide by feeling and withlittle power; more pressure on the work
plate, less pressure against the sawblade.
– Make sure that the work piece is lying properly on the saw table
(norburrs orsawdust)
- 15 -
– Adapt the feed to the requirementsbysaw blade, speedand work
piece material.
– Hard materials, fine sawbladesand thickerwork piecesdo not “tol-
erate”asmuch feedassoft materials, roughsaw bladesand thin
work pieces. Youcan also experiment withvarious speeds.
– Guide the work piece slowly into the sawblade, particularly if the
blade is very thin and the teethvery fine orifthe work piece is very
thick.
–Only use perfect sawblades.
–Donot let the device operate unsupervised.
–Carefully mark out/block the check line.
– Make sure there is goodlighting.
– Always work withconnectedvacuum cleanerand carefully set the
air nozzle (8, fig. 1).
– Youwill achieve the best resultsifthe wood thickness is under
25 mm
.
– Withwood thicknesses of greater than 25 mm, the work piece
must be very carefully guided to stop the sawblade fromjam-
ming, bending, twisting orbreaking.
– Forprecise cutting, note that the sawblade will always try to fol-
low the direction of the fibre (appliesparticularly to thin sawblades).
7.1.1 Selecting the saw blade
As alreadymentioned, the correct selection ofmaterial has avery
great influence on the quality of the result.The table belowshould
serve as asmall guide.
Extensive experience withmanymaterials and
types ofsaw blade is, ofcourse, always helpful withselection. You
can experiment here.
Tip:
The sawbladesare mostly only particularly worn at placeswhere
the teethare particularly highly utilisedwhensawing and, therefore,
become blunt very quickly.To “use up” the non-worn teethand thus
increase the edge life of the sawing blades, youcan artificially“raise”
the bearing surface for the work piece somewhat.
To do this, simply secure asmooth, table-sizedunderlay with the required
thickness to the saw table, using, for example, double-sidedsticky tape.
The non-worn parts of the sawblade are nowsawing the work piece.
This is particularly sensible if you oftensaw very hard and wear-in-
tensive materials with thin blades.
The numerical dataforcharacterising the “fineness” of the toothing
is related to the number of teethperinch ofsaw blade length:
Teeth/inches Material
approx. 10-14 Soft and hard wood (fromapprox. 6-50 mm),
plastics, soft materials, thickerwork pieces
approx. 17-18 Fine sawing work, wood (up to 6 mm), plastics,
soft
materials, thinnerwork pieces
approx. 25-28 Plastic, GRP, non-ferrous metal, Plexiglas, iron
withrestrictionPertinax
approx. 41 Iron, Pertinax
Round sawing blades (withflat ends) can ideally be usedforplastic,
hard and soft wood. Theycut onall sides, so it is not necessary to
turn the work piece whensawing.
7.1.2 Selecting the speed
This representationcan, ofc
ourse, only give instructions on the gen-
eral direction to take.Asinthe previous section, youhave to "exper-
iment”alittle to find the optimal result.The appropriate speedalso,
ofcourse, depends on the blade used, the material of the work piece,
the feed etc.
Level Material
900 strokes/min Steel, brass, non-ferrous metals, GRP, plastics
1400 strokes/min Aluminium, wood, polystyrene, rubber, leather,
cork
7.1.3 Possible causes of faults
The following causesmay break the sawblade:
– If blade is tensioned too tightly ornot tightly enough
– Mechanical overloading of the blade by feeding too quickly.
–Bending or twisting of the blade when turning the work piece too
quickly whencutting curves.
– When the wear limit of the sawblade has beenreached.
– If the screws are tightened
onsaw bladeswithcross pin.
7.1.3.1 Set saw blade alignment (fig. 2)
In avery fewcases (slantedcutting edge in the work piece, strong
blade drift during operation) it could be necessar y to make minorad-
justments to the blade alignment at the uppersaw blade mount (see
pos. 2, fig. 2). Byrotating the sawblade mount, the sawblade align-
ment will be changedasdesired.
1. Clamp
the sawblade and check the parallelism of the sawblade
using an angle 5 (orangledwork piece) arrangedasshown in the
graphic.
2.The sawblade can be alignedifnecessary. Release screw 11 us-
ing an Allenkeyand swivel the sawblade mount into the correct
position to align the sawblade in parallel to the angle.
3.Tighten the sawblade mount in the correctly set positionusing the
Allenkey11.
7.2 Sawing (fig. 7)
Afteryouhave fixed the saw to the work space, adjusted the work
table, prepared the dust exhaust and air nozzle and have clamped the
suitable sawblades,
switch on the machine and guide the work piece
as shown in fig. 7.
Remember: Adapt the feedaccording to the material, the sawblade
and the work piece thickness. Hard materials, fine sawbladesand
thick work piecesdo not “tolerate”asmuch feedassoft materials,
roughsaw bladesand thin materials.
Youcan also experiment withvarious speeds.
Note:
Safe and precise work is only possible withcareful fixing!
The mechanical fret sa wispredominantly amachine forsawing
curves. For goodresults, please note the following points:

Please note:
–Only use perfect sawblades.
– Always remove the mains plug formaintenance and upkeepwork.
–Donot let the device operate unsupervised.
7.2.1 Inside cuts (fig. 8)
Caution!
Always remove the mains plug before releasing the sawblade.
If youmust also make inside cutswhenworking withyour mechan-
ical fret saw, proceedasfollows:
1.Drill ahole in the inside part 1 to be cut out ofyour work piece.
2.Take the sawblade from the topsaw blade guide 2.Proceedasshown
in 6.7.3.1.and in 6.7.3.2, depending on the type ofsaw blade used.
3.Push the sawblade through the drill hole.Reattach sawblade at
the top. Tension the sawblade properly again.
4.Cut out the opening and remove the work piece once the sawblade
has beenremovedagain.
Tip:
If youdrill the hole in such away that it doesnot touch the later
inside contour, youcan allow the sawline to run tangentially into the
contour.This producesanice evensawing edge.
7.2.2 Grain cuts
For grain cuts, the table is simply tiltedbythe requiredamount.This
works as follows:
1.Slightly loosenknurledscrew 1 (fig. 2) and alignsaw table 2 to the
requiredvalue, using
scale 9 onindicator 8.
2.Tightenknurledscrew 1.
3.Press the work piece particularly firmly against the table foragrain
cut.
8 Service and maintenance
Caution!
Pull the mains plug before making anyadjustments, performing main-
tenance work, orcarrying out repairs!
Note:
The scroll sawisbasically maintenance free.However, to ensure a
long service life youshould clean the device after each use withasoft
cloth, swab, orbrush. Avacuum cleanerisalso advisable for this.
9 Disposal
External cleaning of the housing can be carried out using asoft, pos-
sibly moist cloth. While doing so, amild detergent or othersuitable
cleansing agent can be used. Do not use solvents orcleansing agents
containing alcohol (e.g.benzene, cleaning alcohol, etc.) as these can
corrode the plastic housings.
