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 the degree the saw table is tilted.

Blade Clamp Screws

Blade clamp screws are used when changing saw blades.

On/Off Knob with Variable Speed

Pull the knob out to turn ON the scroll saw and push the knob in to turn OFF the scroll saw. Turn the knob to adjust the speed from the high speed of approximately 1,600 SPM (strokes per minute) to the low speed of approximately 500 SPM.

Sawdust Blower/Light

With an easy ON/OFF switch, the sawdust blower/light keeps the line of cut on the workpiece clean and lighted 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.

Blade Storage Drawer

Attached under the left side of the table is a blade storage drawer. It will hold up to 20 blades.

Blade Tension Knob

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

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.

Switch

A power switch that turns the sawdust blower/light on and off.

Drop Foot and Drop Foot Lock Knob

This foot should 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. The vertical portion provides a blade guard to prevent accidental blade contact.

Table Lock Knob

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