OPERATION
Before starting a cut, turn the saw on and listen to the sound it makes. If you
notice excessive vibration or an unusual noise, stop the saw immediately and
unplug it. Do not restart the saw until you have corrected the problem.
• It is expected that some blades may break until you learn how to use
and adjust the saw correctly. Plan the way you will hold the workpiece
from start to finish.
• Hold the workpiece firmly against the saw table.
• Use gentle pressure and both hands when feeding the workpiece into
the blade. Do not force the cut.
• Guide the blade into the workpiece slowly because the teeth are very
small and can only remove material on the down stroke.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause serious injury from contact with the blade. Never place
your hands in the blade path.
• When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your cut so the
workpiece will not pinch the blade.
CARRYING OUT INTERNAL CUTS
One feature of a scroll saw is that it can be used to make scroll cuts within a
workpiece without breaking or cutting through the edge or perimeter of the
workpiece.
1. To carry out internal cuts in a workpiece, firstly remove the blade.
2. Drill a 6.3 mm (1/4”) hole inside the boundary of the aperture to be cut
from the workpiece.
3. Place the workpiece on the saw table with the drilled hole above the
blade access hole.
4. Install the blade through the hole in the workpiece and adjust the blade
tension.
5. When you have completed the internal cuts, remove the blade from the
blade holders and take the workpiece off the table.
WARNING: BEFORE REMOVING OFFCUTS FROM THE TABLE, TURN THE SAW
OFF AND WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO COME TO A FULL STOP TO AVOID
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
