ADJUSTMENT

TO ALIGN THE BEVEL INDICATOR

1. loosen the bevel lock handle and move the table until it is
approximately perpendicular or at a right angle, to the blade.
2. Use a small square to set the table at 90 degrees to the
blade. If there is too much space between the square and the
blade the table must be adjusted.
3. When the space between the square and blade is minimal
tighten the bevel lock handle. the table should now be ap-
proximately 90 degrees to the blade.
4. loosen the screw holding the bevel scale pointer and ad-
just pointer to O degree. tighten screw. then adjust 0 degree
set screw under the table.
Remember the bevel scale is a convenient guide but should
not be relied upon for precision.
Make practice cuts in scrap wood to determine if your angle
settings are correct. Adjust the table as required.

1. the saw does not cut wood by itself. you allow the saw to
cut wood by guiding the wood into the blade as it moves.
2. the blade teeth cut wood 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 re-
ceive the greatest benefit from the blades.
5. best results are achieved when cutting wood less than one
inch thick
6. When cutting wood thicker than one inch the user must
guide the wood very' very slowly into the blade and take extra
care not to bend or twist the blade while cutting in order to
maximize blade Iife.
7. teeth on scroll saw blades wear out and as such must be
replaced frequently for best cutting results. Scroll saw blades
generally stay sharp for 1/2 hour or 2 hours of cutting.
8. to get accurate cuts be prepared to compensate for the
blades tendency to follow the wood grain as you are cutting.
9. this scroll saw is intended to cut wood or wood products.
For cutting precious and non ferrous metals, these must be
used at very slow speeds. they perform well on machines that
have variable speed capability and should be lubricated with
beeswax.

the scroll saw has the capability of inside cutting, to perform
an inside cut, proceed as follows:
1. drill a ¼ inch hole in the board you will use to make inside
cutting.
2. Reiease tension knob, remove blade.
3. Place the board on the saw table with the hole in the board
over the access hole in the table.
4. Install blade through hole in board and adjust blade ten-
sion.
5. When finished making the interior scroll cuts simply re-
move the blade from the blade holder, and remove the board
form the table.
