OPERATION
CAUTION
!
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL AND ON/OFF
SWITCH
●
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.
●
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.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL KNOB
(FIG. O)
1. Your saw is equipped with a
variable
speed control knob (1). The blade stroke
rate may be adjusted by simply rotating
the variable speed control knob (1).
2. Turn the control knob clockwise to
increase up to 1,600 strokes per
minute (SPM). Turn the control knob
counterclockwise to reduce, down to
550 strokes per minute (SPM).
ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. O)
The ON/OFF switch has a removable, safety
key (2). With the safety key removed from the
switch, unauthorized and hazardous use by
children and others is minimized.
1. To turn the scroll saw “ON”, insert the
safety key (2) into the slot of the switch (3).
Move the switch upward to the “ON”
position.
2. To turn the scroll saw “OFF”, move the
switch downward.
3. To lock the switch in the OFF position,
grasp the sides of the safety key, and pull
it out.
4. With the safety key removed, the switch
will not turn the power tool on.
5. If the safety key is removed while the
scroll saw is running, it can be turned
“OFF” but cannot be restarted without
inserting the safety key.

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.
2. 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 (25.4 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.
