LOCK OFF POST

See Figure 19.

To prevent unauthorized use of your scroll saw, we suggest
that you disconnect it from the power supply and lock the
knob in the OFF position. A padlock with a 3/16 in. shackle
should be used. When the lock is installed and locked, as
illustrated, the switch is inoperable. Store the padlock key in
another location.

To lock saw in the OFF position, install a padlock through
the lock off post beside the knob as illustrated and lock the
padlock. (Padlock is not supplied with the saw.)

WARNING:

For your own safety, always push the knob OFF when
machine is not in use. Also, in the event of a power failure,
push knob OFF.  Lock the scroll saw switch OFF with a
padlock. This will prevent the machine from starting up
again when the power comes back on. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.

INTERIOR SCROLL CUTTING

See Figure 20.

One of the features of a scroll saw is that it can be used
to make scroll cuts on the interior of a board without
breaking or cutting through the edge or perimeter of the
board.

WARNING:

To avoid possible serious injury from accidental starting,
always turn the switch OFF and remove plug from power
source outlet before removing or replacing the blade.

To make interior cuts in a board, remove the scroll saw
blade as explained in the Installing Blades section on
pages 12 – 14.

Drill a 1/4 in. hole in the board to be used to make interior
cuts.

Place the board on the saw table with the hole in the board
over the access hole in the table.

Install blade through hole in board then adjust the hold
down foot and the blade tension. See pages 16 and 17.

When finished making the interior scroll cuts, simply
remove the blade from the blade holders as described in
the  Installing Blades section, and remove the board
from the table.
