SETTING THE TABLE FOR HORIZONTAL OR
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figure 8.
WARNING:
Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and
unplug the saw from the power source could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious injury.
A bevel scale is located under the saw table as a convenient
guide for setting the approximate saw table angle for bevel
cutting. When greater precision is required, make practice
cuts on scrap material and adjust the saw table as necessary
for your requirements.
Note: When cutting at angles, the drop foot should be tilted
so it is parallel to the saw table and rests flat against the
workpiece. To tilt the drop foot, loosen phillips screw, tilt drop
foot to the proper angle, then retighten screw.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and
unplug the saw from the power source could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious injury.
ADJUSTING DROP FOOT
■
Loosen the drop foot lock knob. See Figure 4, page 9.
■
Center the drop foot around the saw blade to the desired
position.
■
Tighten the drop foot lock knob.
ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION
See Figure 9.
■
Turn off and unplug the saw from the power source.
WARNING:
Failure to turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and
unplug the saw from the power source could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious injury.
■
Turning the blade tension knob counter-
clockwise decreases (or loosens) blade tension.
■
Turning the blade tension knob clockwise increases (or
tightens) blade tension.
Note: Adjustments to blade tension can be made at any time.
Check tension by the sound the blade makes when plucked
like a guitar string. This method of adding tension to the blade
can be developed with practice and requires knowing your
scroll saw.
■
Pluck the back straight edge of blade while turning
tension adjusting knob. Sound should be a musical note.
Sound becomes less flat as tension increases. Sound
decreases with too much tension.
Note: Be careful not to adjust blade too tight. Too much
tension may cause the blade to break as soon as you start
cutting. Too little tension may cause the blade to bend or
break before the teeth wear out.
