ADJUSTING & OPERATING
YOUR SCROLL SAW
MOUNTING YOUR SCROLL SAW TO A BENCH
1. When mounting this scroll saw base (A) Fig.3 to a workbench (C), a solid bench is
preferable over a plywood bench where noise and vibration will be more noticable.
2. The hardware to mount this saw to a workbench is NOT SUPPLIED with the saw.
However, we recommend the hardware used be no smaller than the following:
QTY DESCRIPTION
4 Hex. bolts -1/4 - 20 (D) Fig.3
4 Washers 9/32” (E) Fig.3
4 Lock washers 9/32” (F) Fig.3
8 Hex. nuts 1/4 - 20 (G) Fig.3
3. A soft foam pad (B) Fig.3 to place between your scroll saw and your workbench is
not supplied but we recommend the use of such a pad to reduce noise and vibra-
tion. The size of the pad should be 24”x12”x1/2”. See mounting illustration in Fig.3.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE MOUNTING BOLTS- leave some cushion in the foam
pad for absorbing noise and vibration.
SETTING THE TABLE FOR HORIZONTAL OR BEVEL CUTTING
1. Loosen the table lock knob (A) Fig.4, the saw table (B) can be tilted to the left and
locked at any angle from 0
0
horizontal cutting position and up to 45
0
for bevel
cutting.
2. A degree scale (C) is provided under the 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 necessary for your requirements.
3. NOTE: When cutting at angles, the drop foot (A) Fig.6 can be tilted so it is parallel
to the table and rests flat against the workpiece. To tilt the drop foot, loosen the
pan hd screw (B) which holds the drop foot in place and tilt it parallel to the table
and securely retighten the pan hd screw.
ALIGNING THE DEGREE SCALE POINTER
1. Loosen the table lock knob (A) Fig.4 and move the table (B) until it is approximately
perpendicular, or at a right angle to the blade.
2. Place a small square on the table next to the blade to check if the table is 90
0
to
the blade, see Fig.5. If an adjustment is needed, raise or lower the table until it is
90
0
to the blade and securely tighten the table lock knob.
3. Loosen the screw holding the degree scale pointer (D) Fig.4, move the pointer to
the 0 degree mark and securely tighten the screw. Remember, the degree scale is
a convenient guide but should not be relied upon for precision. Make practice cuts
in scrap wood to determine if your angle settings are correct.
