RECOMMENDATIONSFORCUTTING
1,
When feeding the workpieceintothe blade do not
force the leadingedge of the workpieceintothe blade
becausethe blade will deflect, reducingthe accuracy
of cut and possiblybreakingthe blade.Allow the saw
to cut material by guidingthe workpieceintothe
blade as itcuts.
2. The blade teeth cut material ONLY on the down
stroke.
3. Youmust guide the wood intothe blade slowly
becausethe teeth of the bladeare verysmalland
wood is removedonly on the down stroke.
4.
There is a learningcurvefor each personwhowants
to use thissaw. Duringthat periodof time it is
expectedthat some bladeswill break untilyoulearn
howto use the saw and receivethe greatestbenefit
from the blades.
5. Bestresultsare achieved when cuttingwoodless
thanone inchthick.
6. When cutting woodthicker than one inch the user
must guide the wood very, very slowlyinto the blade
and take extra care not to bend or twist the blade
while cutting in order to maximize blade life.
7. Teeth on scrollsaw blades wear outand must be
replacedfrequentlyfor best cuttingresults.Scro, saw
bladesgenerally stay sharp for 1/2 to 2 hoursof
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 scrollsaw is intendedto cutwood or wood
products.Preciousand non-ferrousmaterialsperform
well on scrollsaws that have very slowspeed
capability,and shouldbe lubricated with machine oil
orbeeswax.
10. When choosing a blade to use withyour scrollsaw,
use very fine, narrow blades to scrollcut thin wood of
1/4-inch or less thickness. Use wider blades for
thicker materials but wider blades will reduce the
ability to cut tight curves.
11. Blades wear faster when cutting abrasive materials
likeplywoodor particleboard. Angle cuttingin
hardwoodsreduces blade toothset faster due to
blade deflection.
FREEHAND CUTTING (FIG. S)
To avoidinjuryfrom an accidentalstart,make Surethe
switchis in the OFF position and the plugis not
connected to the powe( sourceouUet.
1. Lay outdesired design, or securedesign to the
workpiece(1).
2. Raise the blade guardassembly(2) by loosening the
heightadjustmentknob (3).
3.
4.
Positionthe workpieceagainst the blade (3) and
lowerthe blade guard assemblyagainstthe top
surfaceof the workpiece.
Secure the blade guard assembly(2) by tightening
the heightadjustmentknob (3).
5.
Remove the workpiecefrom the bladeprior to tuming
the scroll saw ON. Pull the speed control knob (4) out
and setthe desired speed by turning the control knob
clockwise or counterclockwise.
CAUTION: In order to avoid uncontrollable lifting of
the workpieceand to reduce blade breakage,do not
pullthe controlknob ON while the workpieceis
againstthe blade..
6. Slowly feed the workpieceinto the blade, pressing
the workpiece down against the table while cutting.
CAUTION : Do notforce the leading edge of the
workpieceinto the blade. The blade will deflect,
reducingaccuracyof cut,and may break.
7. When the cut is complete, move the trailingedge of
the workpiece beyond the blade guard foot. Push the
controlknob in to turn the scroll saw OFE
