basic scronHsaw operationNOTE: Make certain set screws in blade holders aretight prior to each use of the scroll sawWARNING: NEVER OPERATE WITHOUT TABLEINSERT IN PLACE°

This scroll saw accepts a wide variety of bladewidths and thicknesses: 5" to 6" length plain endtype blades and 5" length pin type blades The bladesize (thickness and width) and the number of teethper inch are determined by the type of material andthe smallest radius being cutNOTE: Use wider blades to achieve straightest cuts

A scroll saw is basically a "curve cutting" machine Itcan also be used for straight-line cutting operationssuch as cross cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling,and compound cutting.Using the proper blade for the material andthickness being cut will help the operator to followpattern lines. (Use wider blades to achieve thestraightest cuts ) Blade teeth should always pointdownWhen a blade is dull, or when insufficient bladetension is being used, the blade may have atendency to twist or breakTo minimize blade breakage and to produce moreaccurate results, be sure the blade is not forced intothe workpiece. Too much pressure should not beapplied on the wood as it is fed into the blade.Steady, even pressure will produce more uniform,cleaner cutting with less blade breakage.Loosen blade tension knob when scroll saw is not inuse.. Follow procedure to tension blade before use.

The scroll saw has the capability of inside cutting(piercing). Pin-type blades are recommended wheninside cutting as the best type of blade to use formaximum performance Drill an over-sized hole inscrap section of workpiece Locate two (2) bladeholder keys among loose parts Position each keyover one installed blade holder to secure holderwhile installing blade through workpiece. Releasetension knob (see BLADE INSTALLATION-GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SCROLL SAW)Remove blade, and place workpiece on table withdrilled hole aligned over blade slot in insert. Replaceblade, sliding it through drilled hole and insert slot.Reinstall blade in lower and upper blade holders.Retighten tension knob (see BLADE

BEVEL SETTING/CUTTING

WARNING: TO AVOID _RUNNING THE MITERGAUGE INTO THE GUARD, ALWAYS SET THEBEVEL ANGLE TO THE RIGHT AS SHOWNBELOW,

INSTALLATION-GETTING TO KNOW YOURSCROLL SAW) Remove two (2) blade holder keysand store for future use

Plain-end blades can be used for inside cutting.Follow the procedure for pin-type blades, andloosen set screws in upper and lower blade holdersusing set screw wrench When installing blade inblade holders, tighten set screws with wrenchUse caution when cutting off material which isirregular in cross section which could pinch theblade before the cut is completed A piece ofmolding for example must lay flat on the table andnot be permitted to rock while being cut

Use caution when cutting off round material such asdowel rods, or tubing They have a tendency to rollwhile being cut causing the blade to "bite" Alwaysuse a "V" block, or clamp round material to a miter

SAWING/SCROLLING

1 Adjust the guard to just contact the top of theworkpiece

2 Use both hands while feeding the work into theblade Hold the workpiece firmly against thetable Use gentle pressure, and do not force thework, but allow the blade to cut

3 Avoid putting side loads on the blade duringcutting to keep cut square to table

NOTE: When very sharp curves are to be cut, narrowblades should be used Remove blade clips whenusing narrow blades

Loosen bevel lock knob and tilt housing of saw tothe desired angle degree by reading bevel scalesAdjust the guard to just contact the top of theworkpiece Perform bevel cuts by feedingworkpiece into blade without a guide or using themiter gauge HOUSING
