ON-OFF AND VARIABLE SPEED SWITCHES

The on-off switch (A) Fig. 18, and variable speed switch

(B)is located on the left side of the scroll saw base, as shown. To turn the saw "ON," push the top portion of switch (A) and to turn the saw "OFF", push the bottom portion of the switch (A).

This scroll saw is supplied with variable speeds of 400 to 1800 strokes per minute. When the variable speed switch (B) Fig. 18, is rotated all the way to the left (coun- terclock-wise) the speed will be 400 strokes per minute. To increase the strokes per minute, rotate switch (B) to the right (clock-wise) until the desired speed is obtained. When the switch (B) is rotated all the way to the right (clockwise) the speed will be 1800 strokes per minute.

LOCKING ON-OFF SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the off position using a padlock (C), as shown in Fig. 19. This padlock is available as an an accessory, Model 50-325 padlock.

TABLE INSERT

The table insert (A) can be assembled to the saw table with the opening in the insert pointing to the front of the table, as shown in Fig. 20, or to the right as shown in Fig. 21.

With the table in the level position, 90 degrees to the blade, the insert (A) should be positioned, as shown in Fig. 20. This allows for the blade to be pivoted forward after it is unclamped from the top blade holder, enabling you to quickly insert the blade into the next hole in a pat- tern when doing inside-cutting, as you will see later in this manual.

When tilting the table for bevel cutting operations the insert (A) should be positioned as shown in Fig. 21. This allows for clearance of the blade when tilting the table.
