• Use gentle pressure and both hands when
feeding the work into the blade. Do not force
the work.
• Guide the workpiece into the blade slowly
because the teeth of the blade are very small
and can only remove material on the down
stroke.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand posi-
tions where a sudden slip could cause serious
injury from contact with the blade. Never place
hands in blade path.
• To get accurate cuts, compensate for the
blade's tendency to follow the wood grain as
you are cutting wood.
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks,
etc.) when cutting large, small or awkward
workpieces.
• Never use another person as a substitute for
a table extension or as additional support for
a workpiece that is longer or wider than the
basic saw table.
• When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not pinch the blade.
Workpieces must not twist, rock or slip while
being cut.
REMOVING JAMMED MATERIAL
When backing out the workpiece, the blade
may bind in the kerf (cut). This is usually caused
by sawdust clogging the kerf or when the
blade comes out of the blade holders. If this
happens:
• Wait until the saw has come to a full and
complete stop.
• Place the switch in the OFF position, remove
the switch key from the switch assembly. Store
key in a safe place.
• Unplug the saw from the power source.
• Remove the saw's blade and the workpiece,
see section on
Removing the Saw Blade
• Wedge the kerf open with a flat screwdriver
or wooden wedge then remove the blade from
the workpiece.
WARNING: Before removing loose pieces
from the table, turn saw off and wait for all
moving parts to stop to avoid serious personal
injury.
AVOIDING INJURY
• Make sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw
should always be on a firm, level surface with
E N G L I S H •
plenty of room for handling and properly sup-
porting the workpiece.
• Bolt saw to the support surface to prevent
slipping, walking or sliding during operations
like cutting long, heavy boards.
• Turn saw off, remove switch key, and unplug
cord from the power source before moving the
saw.
• Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until
blade has come to a full and complete stop.
• Choose the right size and style blade for the
material and type of cut you plan to do.
• Use only recommended accessories.
• With the exception of the workpiece and re-
lated support devises, clear everything off the
saw table before turning the saw on.
• Properly support round materials such as
dowel rods or tubing because they have a ten-
dency to roll during a cut causing the blade to
"bite". To avoid this, always use a "V" block or
clamp workpiece to a miter gauge
• Before removing loose pieces from the saw
table, turn saw off and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
SCROLL CUTTING
For general type scroll cutting, follow the pat-
tern lines by pushing and turning the work-
piece at the same time. Do not try to turn the
workpiece while engaged in the blade without
pushing it the workpiece could bind or twist
the blade.
WARNING: To prevent serious personal in-
jury, never leave the saw unattended until the
blade has come to a complete stop.
INTERIOR SCROLL CUTTING
• One feature of a scroll
saw is that it can be used
to make scroll cuts on
the interior of a work-
piece without breaking
or cutting through the
edge or perimeter of
the board.
• To make interior cuts in the workpiece, re-
move the scroll saw blade as explained in the
section on Installing Blades.
• Drill a 1/4 in. (6 mm) hole in the workpiece.
