Adjusting the laser line

1.To adjust the laser beam first turn on the scroll saw using the on/off switch (1)

2.To adjust the laser line turn the laser line alignment knob (5) in an anti-clockwise direction to loosen it and then move it to the left or right until the laser line is in line with the blade. Turn the laser line alignment knob (5) in a clockwise direction to tighten it.

3.Turn off the scroll saw

Adjusting the speed

The speed can be adjusted to suit the work piece being cut. The variable speed dial (1) is located at the top of the saw for convenient adjustment of the speed.

1.Turn the saw on by lifting the on/off switch (1).

2.Turn the dial in a clockwise direction for a faster speed and in an anti-clockwise direction to reduce

the speed.

3.Determine the optimum speed by making a trial cut in a scrap piece of material.

Note. Using the correct speed for the job increases the life of the saw blade.

Selecting the correct speed

The below table shows the most appropriate blade and speed to be used for different materials and applications.
