Miter Cutting; Electrical Connection; Cleaning, Maintenance, Storage And Orde - Dexter power SD1600VX Traduction Du Manuel D'origine

• The saw does not cut wood automatically. Rather,
the operator must push and guide the wood to-
ward 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.
8.2 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Item 14)
• Press the "I" button to switch on.
• Press the "0" button to switch off.
Important: The machine is equipped with a safety
switch to prevent it from being switched on again
accidentally after a power failure.
If the mains power supply is interrupted when the
fretsaw is switched on, the saw will switch off and
remain in this state, even after the power is restored.
Press the "I" switch again to switch the saw back on.
8.3 Operating working lamp
• Turn off the machine as described under 8.2
• Now the work lamp (30) can turn ON or OFF by
useing the switch (31).
8.4 Speed regulator (Fig. 2/Item 15)
The speed regulator (15) allows you to set the blade
speed appropriate to the material to be cut. We
recommend high speeds for soft material and low
speeds for hard material. Turning the speed regula-
tor (15) to the right increases rotational speed.
8.5 Inside cutting
One of the features of this fretsaw is that it can make
cuts inside a panel without damaging the outside or
edges.
To cut inside a panel:
• Remove the saw blade as described in section
7.3.2.
• Drill a hole in the panel in question.
• Lay the panel with the hole over the access hole in
the saw table.
• Insert the saw blade through the hole in the panel
and set the blade tension.
• When you have finished cutting, remove the saw
blade from the blade holders (as described in sec-
tion 7.3.2) and lift the panel off the table.

8.6 Miter cutting

To carry out miter cuts adjust the distance of the
blade guard for worktable accordingly. Swivel the
saw table by loosening the locking lever (12) and tilt-

ing the table to the desired position (Fig. 13). Tighten
the locking lever.
Important.
Be especially careful when making miter cuts. The
angle of the saw table makes it easier for the work-
piece to slip. Risk of injury.

9. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies with
the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the
extension cable used must also comply with these
regulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is
often damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been
cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must
not be used and are life-threatening due to the
insulation damage. Check the electrical connection
cables for damage regularly. Make sure that the con-
nection cable does not hang on the power network
during the inspection. Electrical connection cables
must comply with the applicable VDE and DIN provi-
sions. Only use connection cables with the marking
H 05 VV-F, 3x1.0 mm .

The printing of the type designation on the connec-
tion cable is mandatory.
AC motor
• The mains voltage must be 220-240 V ~
• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a
cross-section of 1.5 mm .

Connections and repairs of electrical equipment may
only be carried out by an electrician. Please provide
the following information in the event of any enquir-
ies:
• Type of current for the motor
• Machine data - type plate
• Machine data - type plate
10. Cleaning, maintenance, storage
and ordering of spare parts
Important.
Always pull out the power plug before starting any
cleaning work.
