The Palmgren 16” Tilting Arm Scroll Saw features aluminum frame
construction, built-in dust collection and a constant power
mechanical variable speed control system. It is designed for cut-
ting hard and soft woods, as well as nonferrous metals and plastics.
Arm of the saw tilts from 90° to 45° while the table remains in hori-
zontal position for straight line feeding of the material. The built-in
motor driven, dust collection system helps to keep the workpiece
clean from both above and below the worksurface. Sawdust is
deposited into a detachable 30 micron filter bag for convenient
disposal. A convenient quick tensioning mechanism makes blade
changing quick and easy.

IMPORTANT:
Table is coated with a protectant. To ensure proper
fit and operation, remove coating. Coating is easily removed with
mild solvents, such as mineral spirits, and a soft cloth. Avoid getting
solution on paint or any of the rubber or plastic parts. Solvents
may deteriorate these finishes. Use soap and water on paint, plastic
or rubber components. After cleaning, cover all exposed surfaces
with a light coating of oil. Paste wax is recommended for table top.
WARNING:
Never use highly volatile solvents. Non-flammable
solvents are recommended to avoid possible fire hazard.

wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
•
Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
•
Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof. Use
padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent
any unintentional use of power tools.

intended function.
•
Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may
affect a tool’s operation.
•
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use
