Basic Scroll Saw Operations
Rip or straight line cutting (Fig. 20)
1 Raise the blade guard foot (1) by loosening the height adjustment knob (2).
2.Measure from the tip of the blade to the desired dis- tance. Position the straight edge parallel to the blade at that distance.
3.Clamp the straight edge to the table.
4.Recheck your measurements using the workpiece to be cut and make sure the straight edge is secure.
5.Position the workpiece against the blade and place the blade guard foot against the top surface of the workpiece.
6.Secure the blade guard foot in place by tightening the- height adjustment knob.
7.Remove the workpiece from the blade prior to turning the scroll saw ON.
! CAUTION | In order to avoid uncontrollable lifting |
| of the workpiece and reduce blade |
|
breakage, do not turn the switch on while the work- piece is against the blade.
8.Position the workpiece against the straight edge prior to touching the leading edge of the workpiece against the blade.
9.Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade, guiding the workpiece against the straight edge and pressing the workpiece down against the table.
Do not force the leading edge of the ! CAUTION workpiece into the blade. The blade
will deflect, reducing accuracy of cut, and may break.
