Operation; Miter Cutting; Electrical Connection - Toolson DKS1600 Traducción De Las Instrucciones Originales De Funcionamiento

• Slightly push down the outrigger (10) (see Fig. 9).
• Pull the saw blade from the upper and lower saw
blade mounting (24/25)
Inserting the saw blade with pins (Fig.
1+10+10.1+10.2+10.3)
The teeth of the saw blade must always point down-
wards.
• Push one end of the saw blade (17) through the
hole in the table, and guide the pins of the saw
blade (17) into the corresponding slots in the upper
and lower saw blade mounting (24/25).
• First insert the saw blade (17), in the lower blade
holder (25).
• Slightly push down the outrigger (10).
• Check the position of the saw blade pins in the saw
blade mountings (24/25).
• Tighten the saw blade (17) with the clamping lever
(9) by pressing it down again. Check the tension
of the saw blade (17). If the tension is insufficient,
it can be increased by turning the lever clockwise.
First release the clamping lever (9).
• Put the table insert (26) back.
7.3.3 Calibrating the angle scale
Important: Check the adjustment of the angular scale
before you start working with the unit. The angle scale
is already properly set when delivered. Align the saw
table using a 90° stop angle (21) (Not supplied) on the
table and at the saw blade(Fig. 11). Slacken the screw
(28) and turn the pointer (27) to the 90° mark.
Carry out a test run for precise machining: Test the
angle set by making a sample cut and checking the
respective number of degrees on the workpiece using
an angle gage. Readjust the pointer (27) if necessary.

8. Operation

8.1 Note:
• The saw does not cut wood automatically. Rather,
the operator must push and guide the wood toward
the moving saw blade.
• The teeth only cut the wood on the downstroke.
• The wood must be slowly pushed and guided to-
ward 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 ser-
vice 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 ac-
cidentally after a power failure.
24 GB
If the mains power supply is interrupted when the fret-
saw 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 rec-
ommend high speeds for soft material and low speeds
for hard material. Turning the speed regulator (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. 12). 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 ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these regu-
lations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten 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.
