TILTING THE TABLE
The table (A) Fig. 20, on your scroll saw can be tilted up
to 45 degrees to the left for bevel cutting operations.
1.
Turn the table insert 90 degrees to the right.
NOTE:
ROTATE THE TABLE INSERT (B) FIG. 20A, TO ALLOW
YOU TO TILT THE TABLE WITHOUT BENDING OR
BREAKING THE BLADE.
2.
Loosen table lock handle (A) Fig. 20. Tilt table (B)
Fig. 20, to the desired angle and tighten lock handle (A).
NOTE:
Table lock handle (A) Fig. 20, is spring-loaded
and can be repositioned by pulling outward on handle (A)
and repositioning hub of handle on the nut located un-
derneath the hub.
3.
When bevel cutting, as shown in Fig. 21, the
holddown (C) can be adjusted to lay flat on the stock. If
the workpiece is too thick causing the stock to contact
the holddown arm (D), the complete holddown assembly
can be removed, since thick stock is heavy enough to
resist lifting off the table during the blade’s up stroke.

ADJUSTING THE TABLE
1.
Loosen the table locking handle, and tilt the table all
the way to the right.
2.
Place one end of a square (A) Fig. 22, on the table
and the other end against the blade, as shown. Check to
see if the table is 90 degrees to the blade.
3.
If the table is not at 90 degrees to the blade, loosen
table lock handle (B) Fig. 23, and adjust the table until it
is 90 degrees to the blade. Then loosen screw (C) and
adjust pointer (D) until it points to the 0 degree mark on
the scale (E).
