Operation
Basic ScrollStation™ Operations
Follow these instructions for operating your ScrollStation to
get the best results and to minimize the likelihood of person-
al injury.
Always observe the safety precautions here
and on pages 2 - 7.
Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears and Body
To avoid being pulled into the saw blade –
DO NOT WEAR:
• Loose Fitting Gloves
• Necktie
• Loose Clothing
• Jewelry
DO:
• Tie Back Long Hair
• Roll Long Sleeves Above Elbows
• The saw does not cut wood by itself. You allow the saw to
cut wood by guiding the wood into the blade as it moves.
• The blade teeth cut ONLY on the down stroke.
• The drop foot should always be lowered until it just rests
on top of the workpiece.
• You must feed the wood into the blade slowly because the
teeth of the blade are very small and they can only remove
wood when they are on the down stroke. The blade will flex
backwards when applying feed pressure. Too much feed
pressure will cause blade breakage. Let the blade do the
work.
• There is a learning curve for each person who wants to
use this saw. During that period of time it is expected that
some blades will break until you learn how to use the saw
and receive the greatest benefit from the blades.
• Best results are achieved when cutting wood less than
1" thick.
• When cutting wood thicker than 1", the user must feed the
wood very slowly into the blade, increase blade tension
and take extra care not to bend or twist the blade while cut-
ting in order to maximize blade life.
• Teeth on ScrollStation blades wear out and blades must
be replaced frequently for best cutting results. Scroll
Station blades generally stay sharp for 1/2 hour to 2 hours
of cutting.
• To get accurate cuts, be prepared to compensate for the
blade’s tendency to follow the wood grain as you are cut-
ting.
When choosing a blade to use with your ScrollStation
consider the following carefully:
• Choose a blade that allows at least three (3) teeth to be in
contact with the workpiece at all times.
• Very fine, narrow blades should be used to scroll cut in thin
wood (1/4" thick or less).
• To cut thicker wood, use wider blades with fewer teeth per inch.
• Most blade packages state the size or thickness of wood
which that blade is intended to cut, and the radius (size of
curve) which can be cut with that blade.
• Wider blades can’t cut curves as tight or small as thinner
blades.
• This saw uses 5" long, Pin- or Plain-End type blades only
(See RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES on page 17).
• Blades wear faster when (1) cutting plywood, which is very
abrasive, (2) when sawing wood which is thicker than the
3/4" blade stroke, (3) when sawing hardwood or (4) when
side pressure is placed on the blade.
Blades
Your new ScrollStation accepts 5" Pin-End blades or 5" Plain-
End blades (See RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES on page
17).
The blades can be used in either 0° (forward facing) or 90° (to
the left) position.
1. Remove hex bolt from upper and lower blade holders.
2. Remove blade holders and rotate 90° so the blade slot
faces the left side of the saw.
3. Re-install hex bolts and tighten securely.
To prevent personal injury always disconnect
the plug from power source before changing
blades or making adjustments.
Removing and Installing
Pin-End Blades
1. Release blade tension by lifting up the Quick Release
Tension Lever and turning counterclockwise (Figure 8).
2. Open easy access door and loosen the blade clamping
knobs on the upper and lower blade holders. Remove
blade from the upper and lower blade holders by pulling
forward on blade and then lifting the blade through the
access hole in the table. Slight downward pressure
against the upper holder may be helpful when removing
blade from upper holder.
NOTE: Table insert may be removed for better access. Table
insert must be replaced before operating the saw.
3. Look at the blade holders closely and notice the blade
slots and pin recesses in the blade holders.
NOTE: In order to cut, and avoid uncontrollable lifting of the
workpiece, the teeth of the blade used on the ScrollStation
should always point downward as shown in (Figure 8) when
installed.
