ADJUSTING DROP FOOT
See Figure 12.
To prevent the workpiece from lifting, the drop foot should
be adjusted so it just rests on the top of the workpiece.
The drop foot should not be adjusted so that the work-
piece drags. Always retighten the drop foot lock knob after
each adjustment has been made.
• Loosen the drop foot lock knob.
• Lower or raise the drop foot to the desired position.
• Retighten the drop foot lock knob.
• The tall, front part of the drop foot acts as a blade guard
to prevent accidental contact with the blade.

BASIC OPERATION OF SCROLL SAW
WARNING
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the
saw to a workbench. Never operate the saw on the floor
or in a crouched position. Failure to follow this warning

Before starting a cut, watch the saw run. If you experience
excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop immediately.
Turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug saw.
Do not restart until locating and correcting the problem.
NOTE: After the saw is turned ON, a hesitation before
blade movement is normal.
