OPERATION

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL AND ON/OFF SWITCH

!CAUTION

For your own safety, always push the switch “OFF” when the scroll saw is not in use. Also, in the case of power failure (all of your lights go out) push the knob “OFF”. Remove the plug from the power source outlet to avoid accidental starting.

The variable speed control allows greater versatility to cut a variety of materials such as wood, plastics, non-ferrous metals, etc. Depending on the hardness and thickness of material, the speed should be reduced to allow the blade teeth to remove cut material from the kerf.
