Making Interior Scroll Cuts

(Pin-End Blades & Plain-End Blades)
TO AVOID
WARNING
!
ALWAYS TURN SWITCH TO OFF (O) AND
REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE
REMOVING OR REPLACING THE BLADE.
A main benefit of this saw is the ability to perform intricate
interior cuts quickly and easily. This is best accomplished
using the Quick Release Tension Lever. Simply follow these
steps (Figure 12):
1. Drill appropriate sized pilot hole in work piece.
2. Release Quick Release Tension Lever.
3. Remove the blade from the upper blade holder as
explained on page 14 or 15, REMOVING AND
INSTALLING BLADES.
4. Thread blade through pilot hole from underneath the
workpiece. If needed, remove the table insert. This will
allow the blade to angle forward for more clearance
between the workpiece and the upper arm housing.
Reinstall the blade in the upper blade holder. Replace
table insert.
5. Re-tension blade by pulling tension lever down.
6. Lower drop foot until it just rests on top of the workpiece
and you're ready to begin cutting.
7. When finished making the interior scroll cuts simply remove
the blade from the upper blade holder, as described on page
14 & 15, REMOVING AND INSTALLING BLADES, then
remove the board from the table.
Adjusting the Table for
Horizontal or Bevel Cutting
1. Loosen the table lock knob, and the saw table can be tilt-
ed to the left and locked at any angle from 0° horizontal
cutting position up to 45° for bevel cutting (Figure 15).
Your tool also features table tilt detents which audibly
click into place to the left every 15°. The table may be
tilted to the right up to 5°.
2. A degree scale is provided under the work table as a
convenient reference for setting the approximate table
angle for bevel cutting. When greater precision is
required, make practice cuts and adjust the table as nec-
essary for your requirements.
3. Loosen the drop foot wing knob and lower by hand until
it just rests above the workpiece surface, then securely
tighten the drop foot wing knob. The drop foot should
always rest just above the workpiece to help prevent the
workpiece from lifting off the table.

4. When cutting with the table angled, adjust drop foot so
it's parallel to the table. To adjust, loosen the wing knob,
turn drop foot to correct angle, tighten wing knob (Figure
13).
Always make sure the blade does not contact either side of
the drop foot, table opening or insert.
NOTE: When cutting at extreme angles, the drop foot should
be lifted off the workpiece, as it will impede cutting. Hold the
workpiece against the table.
