Solution from the manual: Check the parallelism of the upper and lower arms. The manual includes a calibration procedure using a machinist's square. If the arms are misaligned due to shipping, you must loosen the arm bracket screws and realign them.
Because Proxxon is a German company, the original manual uses technical jargon. Here is a quick translation table to keep near your machine:
| German Term (Manual) | English Meaning | Context | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Wecker | Eccentric drive / Stroke mechanism | The part that makes the tool move up/down. | | Hub | Stroke / Lift | The distance the tool moves vertically. | | Spannhebel | Tension lever | The red lever used for changing blades. | | Schwinge | Rocker arm | The upper moving arm. | | Spiel | Play / Backlash | The slack in the compound table. | | Stichsägeblatt | Jigsaw blade | The type of blade you can adapt. |
