Adjusting Hold-down

Shoe & Blade Guard

OPERATIONS

The blade guard is designed to keep your hands and fingers safe. This guard MUST be properly installed BEFORE connecting the scroll saw to power to reduce the risk of hand or finger injury.

The hold-down shoe and blade guard are mounted on the hold-down shoe rod and are adjusted together. The hold-down shoe is designed to keep the workpiece from raising up with the force of the moving blade, and the blade guard is designed to keep debris from flying at the operator and to be a barrier between the blade and the operator's hands.

To adjust the hold-down shoe and blade guard, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the hold-down shoe rod lock knob, then adjust the shoe until it is as close as possible and flat to the workpiece without interfering with its smooth movement across the table (see Figure 12).

Note: When you require the table to be tilted for your cutting operation, use the shoe screw to adjust the shoe so that it remains flat to the workpiece.

3.Re-tighten the rod lock knob and re-check for smooth workpiece movement.

Adjusting Air Nozzle

The air nozzle blows air at the cutting location to keep wood debris away from the line of the cut. Use the air nozzle screw shown in Figure 12 to adjust the position of the nozzle that best suits your operation.
