Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin- ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there’s a problem. The scroll saw should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a rest before you do anything!
If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, feel free to contact our service department for help.
Your scroll saw can perform a variety of intricate cuts: straight, curved, bevel, inside, and so on. The kind of work you produce with it is limited only by your imagination.
In this section we’ll cover the four basic types of cuts from which all others are variations. Please keep in mind that these are standard guidelines; they are by no means the only correct ways to use your Scroll Saw. NOTE: Safety Shield is removed for photographic clarity in this section.
1.Scribe a straight line on your workpiece with a sharp pencil or scratch awl.
2.Adjust
3.Turn power on. Allow motor to get up to speed and push workpiece slowly and steadily into the blade, keeping your hands to either side of the cutting line. Make sure the blade is cutting to the waste side of the line. Figure 9.
