WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in Section 1.

Should you have no experience of using a scroll saw, it is recommended that you practice until you have familiarised yourself

with the  applications and limitations of the saw, at the same time being fully aware of the potential hazards involved.  
Keep alert. DO NOT allow familiarity (from frequent use) to cause a careless mistake. Remember, a careless second is sufficient 

to inflict serious damage or injury.

p

WARNING! All necessary adjustments to the saw should be with the machine disconnected from the mains supply.

4.1

Normal flat cutting.

4.1.1

Set blade to front or side cutting as required. ( Refer to fig.3 ) 

4.1.2  When cutting with the table in the normal flat position the slot in the circular table insert 

( through which the blade passes ) should be aligned with the cutting line of the blade. If 

you change the blade from front to side cutting you must rotate the insert through 90

0

so 

that the slot remains in line with the blade

4.1.3

Adjust foot ( See fig.5 ) to just clear workpiece (so that fingers cannot touch blade) and 

align blower tube to keep cut line visible.

4.2

Cutting at an angle.

4.2.1

Set blade to front cutting only.

4.2.2

Cutting at an angle should always be done with the blade in the forward cutting position. 

In this instance rotate the circular table insert B so that the slot is sideways onto the 

blade so that there is clearance for the blade to move when the table is at its maximum 

tilt. ( See fig.7 ).

4.2.3

Loosen knob C and rotate cutting table A to the desired angle with reference to the scale 

provided ( 0 to 30

). Retighten knob C.

4.2.4

Adjust foot ( See fig.5 ) to just clear workpiece (so that fingers cannot touch blade) and align blower tube to keep cut line visible.

4.3.

Plug saw into mains and switch on.

4.3.1

Workpiece may now be guided 

slowly

into the blade taking care to keep the workpiece pressed down firmly onto the table. Take care 

not to bend or twist the blade as this will cause it to break.

p

WARNING! DO NOT attempt to saw with the table at an angle if the blade is in the side-cut position.
