MAKING INTERIOR SCROLL CUT
1. One of the features of this saw is that it can be used to
make scroll cuts on the interior of a board without breaking
or cutting into theoutline or perimeter of the board.
2. Drill a 6mm hole in the board you will use to make inte-
rior cuts.
3. Place the board on the saw table with the hole in the
board over the access hole in the table.
4. Insert blade through hole in board, install blade and ad-
just blade tension.
5. Lower drop foot until it just rests on top of the workpiece
and you’re ready to begin cutting.
6. When finished making the interior scroll cuts simply re-
move the blade from the blade holders.
MOUNTING THE SCROLL SAW TO A BENCH
1. When mounting this saw to a workbench, a solid bench
is preferable to a plywood bench where noise and vibration
will be more notice-able.
2. Hardware to mount his saw to a workbench is NOT SUP-
PLIED with the saw. However, we rec-ommend the hard-
ware used be no smaller than the following.
Quantity Description
4 Hex Head Bolts, 1/4-20 length required
4 Flat Washers, 9/32 I.D.
4 Lockwasher, 9/32 I.D.

3. Soft foam pad to place between your scroll saw and work-
bench is NOT supplied with the saw. However, we highly
recommend the use of such a pad to reduce noise and
vibration.
Quantity Description
1 Soft foam pad, such as carpet padding
610mm x 305mm x 12mm
DO NOT overtighten mounting bolts - leave some cushion
in the foam pad for absorbing noise and vibration.
