ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle
like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged
electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor.
If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter
(Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a
two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a
permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box.
In all cases, make certain the receptacle
is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a
qualified electrician check the receptacle.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
SCROLL SAW TERMS
BEVEL SCALE –
Represents the degree of table angle from
0° to 45° when the table is tilted for bevel cutting.
BLADE GUARD FOOT –
Guards the blade and keeps your
workpiece from rising. Helps protect fingers from blade contact.
BLADE GUARD FOOT LOCK KNOB –
Allows you to raise or
lower the foot and lock it at the desired height.
BLADE HOLDERS –
Retain and position the blades.
BLADE STORAGE –
Provides convenient easy access to
extra blades or wrenches.
QUICK RELEASE TENSION LEVER –
Quickly loosens and
retightens the blade to its original tension. The tension lever
quickly sets and resets the blade tension when performing
interior cutting operations or changing blades.
SAWDUST BLOWER –
Keeps sawdust from covering the line
of sight for more accurate cuts. The best results occur when
the blower tube is directed toward the blade and workpiece.
SAWDUST COLLECTION PORT –
Allows vacuum hose or
attachments to be used to remove the sawdust from under
the table and base.
TABLE LOCK KNOB –
Securely locks the table at the angle
desired for bevel cutting.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL KNOB –
Variable switch dial
allows greater versatility when cutting a variety of materials.
Adjust the speed to the desired setting, between 500 to 1500
strokes per minute (SPM), by turning the control knob
clockwise or counterclockwise.
WOODWORKING TERMS
BLADE TOOTH SET –
The total width the blade will cut based
on the distance from the outside point of one bent tooth to the
outside point of the next bent tooth establishing set of teeth.
DEFLECTION –
Slight movement of blade in the horizontal
direction while the blade is moving inline during cutting opera-
tion. This may be caused by the blade following the grain or
the path of least resistance.
FEED –
Rate of moving material to be cut into the blade.
KERF –
The slot cut by the blade.
LEADING EDGE –
The front edge of the workpiece that is
guided into the blade.
SAW BLADE PATH –
Area or line of sight of the workpiece
moving in line toward the saw blade edge.
SURFACE –
Top of workpiece being cut.
TRAILING EDGE –
The end of the workpiece edge last cut by
the saw blade.
WORKPIECE –
Material on which the cutting operation is
being performed.
