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
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 CUT-
TING
• 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.
• Place the workpiece on the saw table with
the drilled hole over the access hole in the
table.
• Install blade through the hole in the work-
piece; adjust the drop foot and blade tension.
• When finished making the interior scroll cuts,
simply remove the blade from the blade hold-
ers as described in the section on Installing
Blades, and remove the workpiece from the
saw table.
STACK CUTTING
After becoming well
acquainted with your
saw through practice
and experience, you
may wish to try stack
cutting. Stack cutting
may be used when sev-
eral identical shapes
need to be cut. Several pieces of wood may
be stacked on top and secured to each oth-
er before cutting. The wood pieces may be
joined together by placing double sided tape
between each piece or by wrapping masking
