FEATURES

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 inches thick. It also cuts nonferrous metals (aluminum, brass, copper).

KNOW YOUR SCROLL SAW

Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements of your scroll saw. See Figures 3 and 4.

ON/OFF KNOB WITH VARIABLE SPEED

Your scroll saw has an easy access ON/OFF knob with variable speed. Pull the knob out to turn ON the saw, and push the knob in to turn OFF the saw. Turn the knob to adjust the speed from the high speed of approximately 1550 SPM (Strokes Per Minute) to the low speed of approximately 400 SPM.

LOCK OFF POST

Place a pad lock in the lock off post next to the ON/OFF knob to lock the saw in the OFF position to prevent unauthorized use of the saw by children or others.

BLADE HOLDERS

Blade holders retain and position the blades. Notches in blade clamp have been designed to retain and position pin type blades.

Convenient knobs, "T" handle wrench, and blade changing rod are used for plain end blades.

BLADE TENSION KNOBS

Blade tension is controlled by a dual knob tension control system. The inner (smaller) knob, tension adjusting knob, is for making adjustments of the blade tension. The outer (larger) knob, quick release knob, is used to quickly set and release blade tension to facilitate blade changes.

HOLD DOWN FOOT/BLADE GUARD

The hold down foot should be adjusted to apply light pres- sure to the top of the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from lifting while cutting, but not so much that the workpiece drags. The vertical portion provides a blade guard to prevent accidental blade contact.

HOLD DOWN FOOT LOCK LEVER

Allows you to raise or lower the hold down foot/blade guard and secure it at desired heights.
