CLAMPING SCROLL SAW TO
WORKBENCH
See Figure 7.
If the scroll saw is to be used in a portable application, we recommend that you fasten it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other supporting surface. The mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping of saw while in use.
•Mount saw to board using holes in frame as a template for hole pattern or the diagram in Figure 6. Locate and mark the holes where scroll saw is to be mounted.
•Follow last three steps in previous section called
Mounting Scroll Saw to Workbench.
Make sure mounting bolts are long enough to go through holes in the saw frame, material being mounted to, lock washers, and hex nuts.
Note: It may be necessary to countersink hex nuts and washers on bottom side of mounting board.
_1, WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible serious personal injury,
turn off the saw and unplug before making any adjustments.
HOLD DOWN FOOT/BLADE GUARD
See Figure 8.
The hold down should be adjusted so it contacts the top surface of the work being cut. Tighten adjusting knob after adjustment has been made.
•Loosen the hold down foot lock knob.
•Move the hold down foot to the desired position.
•Tighten the hold down foot lock knob.
The tall, front part of the hold down foot acts as a blade guard to prevent accidental contact with the
blade.
SAWDUST BLOWER
See Figure 8.
The dust blower is designed and preset to direct air to the most effective point on the cutting line. Be sure hold down foot is properly adjusted to properly secure workpiece and to properly direct air to the cutting surface.
•Insert hose to air diaphragm before starting the saw.
