A scroll saw can also be used for straight line cutting such as cross cuts, ripping and bevels, The following is a list of points to remember when using a Scroll Saw. 1. The saw does not cut wood by itself. You feed the workpiece into the blade, letting the blade cut the wood as you move the piece forward. 2.
MAINTENANCE A. Apply a thin coat of paste wax on the work table from time to time. This will help the wood glide across the table more smoothly. B. The motor is permanently lubricated. Do not try to oil the motor bearings or service any internal parts of the motor. If the power cable is worn, frayed, cut or damaged, replace it. Do not try to patch it up with electrical tape as this could lead to more trouble. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Breaking Blades. PROBABLE CAUSES SUGGESTED REMEDY 1.
