WARNING
To avoid injury from accidental starting, make sure
the switch is in the OFF (O) position and the plug is
not connected to the power outlet before moving,
replacing blade or making adjustments.
Tools Needed (Not Included)
QUANTITY DESCRIPTION
2 Small C-clamps
1 Ruler or Measuring Tape
12-inch Straight Scrap of Wood
1
(Thickness to match workpiece)
1. Raise the blade guard foot (1) by loosening the
blade guard foot lock knob (2) on the right side of the
upper arm. Measure from the tip of the blade (3) to
the desired distance. Position the straight edge (4)
parallel to the blade at that distance.
2. Clamp the straight edge to the table (5).
3. Recheck your measurements, using the workpiece to
be cut, and make sure the scrap wood is secure.
4. Position the workpiece against the blade and place
the blade guard foot (1) slightly above the top surface
of the workpiece.
5. Secure the blade guard foot in place by tightening
the blade guard foot lock knob.
6. Remove the workpiece from the blade prior to
turning the scroll saw ON (I). Set the desired
speed by turning the control knob clockwise or
counterclockwise.
WARNING
In order to avoid uncontrollable lifting of the workpiece
and to reduce blade breakage, do not turn the saw ON
(I) while the workpiece is against the blade.
7. Position the workpiece against the straight edge (4)
prior to touching the leading edge of the workpiece
against the blade (3).
8. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade, guiding the
workpiece against the straight edge and press the
workpiece down against the table while cutting.
WARNING
Do not force the leading edge of the workpiece into the
blade. The blade will deflect, reducing accuracy of cut,
and may break.
9. When the cut is complete, move the trailing edge of
the workpiece beyond the blade guard foot. Turn the
scroll saw OFF (O).
NOTE: When cutting a narrow workpiece, use push
sticks.
