OPERATION

RECOMMENDATIONS fOR CUTTING

1.  When feeding the workpiece into the blade do not 

force the leading edge of the workpiece into the 
blade because the it will deflect the blade, reduce 
the accuracy of cutting and possibly break the 
blade. Allow the saw to cut material by guiding the 

workpiece into the blade as it cuts.

.  The blade teeth cut material ONLY on the down 

stroke. 

3.  You must guide 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.

4.  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.

5.  Best results are achieved when cutting wood less 

than one inch (5.4 mm) thick.

6.  When cutting wood thicker than one inch (25.4 mm), 

the user must guide the wood very slowly into the 

blade and take extra care not to bend or twist the 

blade while cutting in order to maximize blade life.

7.  When teeth of scroll saw blade worn out, must  

replace the new blade. Check the blade frequently 

for best cutting results. Scroll saw blades generally 
stay sharp for 1/2 to 2 hours of cutting.

8.  To get accurate cuts, be prepared to compensate for 

the blade’s tendency to follow the wood grain as you 
are cutting.

9.  This scroll saw is intended to cut wood or wood 

products. 

10. When choosing a blade to use with your scroll saw, 

consider very fine, narrow blades to scroll cut in thin 

wood in /4 in. (6.4 mm) thick or less. Use wider 
blades for thicker materials but this will reduce the 

ability to cut tight curves.

11.  This saw uses 5 in. (127 mm) long pin or plain end 

type blades.

12. Blades wear faster when cutting plywood or particle 

board which is very abrasive. Angle cutting in 

hardwoods reduces blade tooth set faster due to the 

blade deflection.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL AND ON/Off SWITCH

CAUTION

!

for your own safety, always push the switch 
“Off” when the scroll saw is not in use. Also, in the 

case of power failure (all of your lights go out) push the 
knob “OFF”. Remove the plug from the power source 
outlet to avoid accidental starting. 

ON/Off SWITCH (fIG. P)

.  To turn power ON, press on/off switch () to “ON” 

position.

.  To turn power Off, press on/off switch () to “Off” 

position.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL KNOB (fIG. P)

The variable speed control allows greater versatility to 

cut a variety of materials such as wood, plastics, non-

ferrous metals, etc. Depending on the hardness and 

thickness of material, the speed should be reduced to 
allow the blade teeth to remove cut material from the 
kerf.
.  Your saw is equipped with a variable speed control 

knob (). The blade stroke rate may be adjusted by 

simply rotating the 

variable speed control knob (). 

.  Turn the speed control knob clockwise to increase up 

to ,500 strokes per minute (SPM). Turn the speed 
control knob counterclockwise to reduce down to 500 
strokes per minute (SPM).

WORK LIGHT (fIG. P)

1.  To turn work light on, press the rocker switch (3) to 

“ON” position.

2.  To turn work light off, press the rocker switch (3) to 

“Off” position.
