WARNING! Do not connect to power supply

until assembly is complete. Failure to comply could result in accidental starting and possible serious injury.

MOUNTING SCROLL SAW TO WORKBENCH

(Fig. 1)

If the scroll saw is to be used in a permanent application, we recommend that you secure it in a permanent location such as a workbench. When mounting the saw to a workbench, holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of the workbench.

- Insert one rubber foot (12) into each hole of the

base on the scroll saw assembly (27).

- Each hole in the base of the saw should be bolted

securely using hex bolts (29), locking washers (30)

and hex nuts (31) (not included). Bolts should be

of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base,

washers, nuts and the thickness of the workbench

(32).

WARNING! To avoid serious personal injury

from unexpected tool movement, always secrurely mount scroll saw to a workbench.

NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the

top. Install the washers and nuts from the underside of the bench.

- Place scroll saw on workbench. Using the saw

base as a pattern, locate and mark the holes where

the scroll saw is to be mounted.

- Drill four holes through the workbench.

- Place scroll saw on workbench, aligning holes in

the saw base with the holes drilled in the

workbench.

- Insert all four bolts and tighten securely with

washers and nuts.

Supporting surface where scroll saw is mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure workbench or supporting surface before beginning cutting operations.

ERBAUER 457MM SCROLL SAW ERB704SSW

Reducing Noise and Vibration:

You may wish to place a foam pad or piece of carpet between the saw base and the workbench to help reduce noise and vibration.

If a foam pad or piece of carpet is used, do not overtighten the mounting bolts. Leave some cushion between the padding and the saw base to help absorb the noise and vibration.

The thickness of the padding material should be approximately 1/2" (13 mm).

DROP FOOT ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 2)

To prevent workpiece from lifting, the drop foot (16) should be rests flat above the workpiece and the drop foot adjusted so it is parallel to the working table when angle cutting. The drop foot should not be adjusted so that the workpiece drags.

Always retighten the drop foot lock knob (25) after each adjustment has been made.

- To adjust, loosen the screw (33), tilt the drop foot

(16) so it is parallel to the working table, and

tighten the screw.

- Loosen the drop foot lock knob (25) to raise or

lower the drop foot until it just rests on top of the

workpiece. Tighten the knob.

- Loosen the horizontal adjustment screw (34) with

hex key 5mm (28) supplied, then move the drop

foot forward or backward as needed.

The tall, front part of the drop foot acts as a blade protector to prevent accidental contact with the blade.

DUST BLOWER ADJUSTEMT (Fig. 3)

The attached dust blower (4) is designed to direct air to the cutting line. Adjust the dust blower to the desired position. For the best results, always direct air flow at the blade and the workpiece.

LED LIGHT ADJUSTEMT (Fig. 4)

With an easy ON/OFF switch, the attached LED light (24) keeps the cutting line on the workpiece lighted for more accurate scroll cut. Adjust the

LED light to the desired position.

ERBAUER 457MM SCROLL SAW ERB704SSW

BLADE SELECTION (Fig. 8)

This scroll saw accepts 5" (12.7 cm) length pin-end blades, with a wide variety of blade thicknesses and widths. The type of material and intricacies of cutting operations will determine the number of teeth required per inch. Always select the narrowest blades for intricate (tight radius and curves) curve cutting and the widest blades for straight and large curve cutting operations. The following table represents suggestions for various materials. When purchasing blades, refer to the back of the package for best use of blades on various materials. Use this table as an example, but practice and your own personal preference will be the best selection method.

When choosing a blade, use very fine, narrow blades to scroll cut in thin wood 1/4" (6 mm) thick or less.

Use wider blades for thicker materials, but this will reduce the ability to cut tight curves.

NOTE: Thinner blades will have more

possibilities for blade deflection when cutting angles are not perpendicular to the table.

BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

(Fig. 9-11)

CAUTION! To prevent personal injury,

always turn saw OFF and disconnect the plug from the power source before changing blades.

PIN-END BLADES: (Fig. 9-11)

Pin-end blades are thicker for stability and for faster assembly. They provide faster cutting on a variety of materials.

NOTE: When installing pin-end blades, the

slot on the blade holder must be slightly wider than the thickness of the blade. After the blade is installed, the blade tension knob will keep it in place.

To remove a blade:

- Open the blade guard upward.

- Loosen the blade tension by pushing the blade

tension knob (9) up.

- Lift the saw blade (8) out by pulling forward on

blade, then lifting the blade from the upper blade

holder (3) and lower blade holder (20). Slight

downward pressure against the upper arm (38)

may be helpful when removing blade from upper

blade holder.

Install a blade:

- Place the new blade through the opening in the

table insert (15) with the teeth to the front of the

saw and pointing down toward the work table.

- Hook the new blade (8) in the recess of the lower

blade holder (20).

- Pull up on the blade, press down on the upper

arm (38) and position the upper end of the blade

in the slot on the upper blade holder (3).

- Push down the blade tension lock knob (9).

Make sure the blade is properly located in the blade holders.

- Close the blade guard downward.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CUTTING

A scroll saw is basically a curve-cutting machine.

It can also be used for straight cutting and beveling or angle cutting operations. Please read and understand the following items before attempting to use the saw.

- When feeding the workpiece into the blade,

do not force it against the blade. This could cause

blade deflection. Allow the saw to cut the material

by guiding the workpiece into the blade as it cuts.

- The blade teeth cut material ONLY on the down

stroke.

- Guide the wood into the blade slowly because the

teeth of the blade are very small and remove wood

only on the down stroke.

- Best results are achieved when cutting wood 1"

(2.5 cm) thick or less.

- When cutting wood thicker than 1" (2.5 cm), guide

the wood very, very slowly into the blade and take

extra care not to bend or twist the blade while

cutting in order to maximize blade life.

- Teeth on scroll saw blades wear out and the blades

must be replaced frequently for best cutting results.

Scroll saw blades generally stay sharp for 30

minutes to two hours of cutting.

- To get accurate cuts, be prepared to compensate

for the blade's tendency to follow the wood grain

as you are cutting.

- This scroll saw is primarily designed to cut wood

or wood products. For cutting precious and non-

ferrous metals, the variable control switch must

be set at very slow speeds.

- When choosing a blade, use very fine, narrow

blades to scroll cut in thin wood 1/4" (0.6 cm) thick

or less. Use wider blades for thicker materials,

but this will reduce the ability to cut tight curves.

- Blades wear faster when cutting plywood or very

abrasive particle board. Angle cutting in hardwoods

wears blades down faster.

NOTE: The saw is primarily intended for

woodworking. If it is being used for woodworking, choose a suitable device that prevents you from inhaling the dust. Insert the nozzle to a standard vacuum hose.

ERBAUER 457MM SCROLL SAW ERB704SSW

BASIC OPERATION OF THE SCROLL SAW

Before starting a cut, watch the saw run. If you experience excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop immediately. Turn the saw off and unplug the saw. Do not restart until locating and correcting the problem.

NOTE: After the saw is turned ON, a hesitation

before blade movement is normal.

CUTTING PROCEDURES

There is a learning curve for each person who wants to use this saw. During that period of time it is expected that some blades will break until you learn how to use and adjust the saw.

- Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from

start to finish.

- Keep your hands away from the blade. Do not

hand hold pieces so small your fingers will go

under the blade guard.

- Hold the workpiece firmly against the saw table.

- The blade teeth cut material only on the down

stroke. Use gentle pressure and both hands when

feeding the work into the blade. Do not force the

work.

- Guide the workpiece into the blade slowly because

the teeth of the blade are very small and can only

remove material on the down stroke.

- Avoid awkward operations and hand positions

where a sudden slip could cause serious injury

from contact with the blade. Never place hands

in blade path.

- To get accurate cuts, compensate for the blade's

tendency to follow the wood grain as you are

cutting wood.

- Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks,

etc.) when cutting large, small or awkward

workpieces.

- Never use another person as a substitute for a

table extension or as additional support for a

workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic

saw table.

- When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan

your work so it will not pinch the blade. Workpieces

must not twist, rock or slip while being cut.

ERBAUER 457MM SCROLL SAW ERB704SSW

REMOVING JAMMED MATERIAL

When backing out the workpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust clogging the kerf or when the blade comes out of the blade holders. If this happens:

- Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete

stop.

- Place the switch in the Off position.

- Unplug the saw from the power source.

- Remove the saw's blade and the workpiece, refer

to section on “blade removal and installation.”

- Wedge the kerf open with a flat screwdriver or

wooden wedge, then remove the blade from the

workpiece.

WARNING: Before removing loose pieces

from the table or making adjustments, turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop to avoid serious personal injury.

AVOIDING INJURY

- Make sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw

should always be on a firm, level surface with

plenty of room for handling and properly

supporting the workpiece.

- Bolt saw to the support surface to prevent slipping,

walking or sliding during operations like cutting

long, heavy boards.

- Turn saw off and unplug cord from the power

source before moving the saw.

- Do not remove jammed pieces until blade has

come to a full and complete stop.

- Choose the right size and style blade for the

material and type of cut you plan to do.

- Use only recommended accessories.

- With the exception of the workpiece and related

support devises, clear everything off the saw table

before turning the saw on.

- Properly support round materials such as dowel

rods or tubing because they have a tendency to

roll during a cut, causing the blade to “bite.” To

avoid this, always use a “V” block or clamp

workpiece to a miter gauge.

- Before removing loose pieces from the saw table,

turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! To ensure safety and reliability,

all repairs should be performed by a qualified.

service technician.

WARNING! When servicing, use only

identical replacement parts. The use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause damage to the tool.

WARNING! TO AVOID INJURY FROM

UNEXPECTED STARTING OR ELECTRIC

SHOCK unplug the tool from the power supply before cleaning or performing any maintenance.

CLEANING

- Keep your scroll saw clean.

- After cleaning the table top initially, apply a thin

coat of automobile type (paste) wax to the table

top so the wood slides easily while cutting.

- Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the working

table. Clean with gum and pitch remover.

LUBRICATION (Fig. 19)

Lubricate the arm bearings (one on each side of the saw) after the first 10 hours of use. Oil after every

50 hours of use or whenever there is a squeak coming from the bearings.

- Carefully place the saw on its side, as shown in

Figure 21. Remove the rubber cap from the upper

and the lower arm of the saw.

- Squirt a few drops of SAE20 oil around the shaft

end and arm bearings. Let oil soak in overnight,

remaining in this position.

NOTE: You lubricate the bearings on the

other side of the saw in this same manner.

BRUSH REPLACEMENT (Fig. 20)

Your saw has externally accessible motor brush assemblies that should be checked after 50 hours of use for wear. When one of the two brushes becomes worn to 1/16" (2 mm) in length, replace both brushes.

- Unplug the saw from the power source.

- Loosen and remove the two brush caps (41) using

a screwdriver.

- Pull out each brush (42). Inspect the brush and

ERBAUER 457MM SCROLL SAW ERB704SSW

replace if necessary. Replace both brushes even if only one is damaged.

NOTE: After inspecting the brushes, be sure

to re-install the brushes into the same position that they were in if you are not installing new ones.

- Position the brushes in the motor. Tighten the

brush caps snugly. Do not overtighten.

- Run the saw for approximately five to ten minutes

to allow the brushes to "seat" themselves. If the

brushes are not seated correctly, the electric brake

may not function correctly and could damage the

motor. While the brushes are seating, some

sparking may be noticed in the motor. This is

normal for new brushes.

PLUG REPLACEMENT (Fig. 21)

If you need to replace the fitted plug then follow the instructions below.

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead

are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue – Neutral

Brown – Live

Green/Yellow – Earth

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire, which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal which is marked with an N or coloured black. The wire, which is coloured brown, must be connected to the terminal which is marked with an L or coloured red. The wire, which is coloured green/ yellow, must be connected to the remaining terminal which is marked with an E or .

WARNING: Never connect live or neutral

wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit an approved 5 Amp BS1363/A plug and the correct rated fuse.

NOTE: If a moulded plug is fitted and has to

be removed take great care in disposing of the plug and severed cable, it must be destroyed to prevent engaging into a socket.
