FEATURES

KNOW YOUR SCROLL SAW

Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with all the operating features and safety requirements of your Ryobi scroll saw. See Figure 4.

This versatile, variable speed scroll saw is great for making toys, puzzles, games, artwork, and jewelry. It is a handy do- it-yourself tool. It cuts wood, wood composition products, plastic, and other fibrous material up to 2 in. (51 mm) thick. It also cuts nonferrous metals (aluminum, brass, copper).

Bevel Scale

The bevel scale and indicator show you the degree the saw table is tilted.

Sawdust Blower

Keeps the line of the cut on the workpiece clean for more accurate scroll cuts. For best results, always direct air flow at the blade and the workpiece.

Sawdust Exhaust

This feature will allow you to attach any 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) vacuum hose for easy sawdust collection.

Saw Table with Throat Plate

Your scroll saw has an aluminum saw table with tilt control for maximum accuracy. The throat plate, inserted in the saw table, allows for blade clearance.

Blade Clamp Screws

Blade clamp screws are used when changing saw blades.

Blade Tension Knob

Loosen or tighten the blade tension by turning the blade tension knob.

Drop Foot

This foot should always be lowered until it just rests on top of the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from lifting, yet not so much that the workpiece drags.

Drop Foot Lock Knob

Allows you to raise or lower the drop foot and lock it in place.

Allows you to tilt the table and lock it at the desired angle up to 45°.

Variable Speed Knob

Turn the knob to adjust the speed from the high speed of approximately 1600 SPM (strokes per minute) to the low speed of approximately 400 SPM.
