GENERAL SAFETY RULES Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR SCROLL SAWS WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. 1. DO NOT OPERATE your scroll saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. 2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of Scroll Saws, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person. 3. YOUR SCROLL SAW MUST be securely fastened to a stand or workbench.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length.

ASSEMBLY 1. Remove the blade from the scroll saw. A 2. Move the blade lever tension handle (A) Fig. 3, to the foreword position as shown. Fig. 3 3. Push chuck locking lever (B) Fig. 4 to the rear as shown. This will release the blade (C) from the upper chuck assembly (D). D B C Fig. 4 4. Insert long end (F) Fig. 5, of quickset blade changing wrench into hole (G) in lower blade holder. This will align wrench (H) with blade holder screw (J). Turn wrench (H) counter-clockwise.
5. Position table (A) Fig. 7, on the machine as shown. Align the two holes in the table trunnions (O) with the two holes in the base (P) of the machine. NOTE: BEFORE TIGHTENING THE M6x1x45mm SPECIAL SCREWS (B) AND M6 LOCKNUTS (C) FIG. 7, MAKE SURE THE TILT SCALE (D) FIG. 7, IS POSITIONED INSIDE POINTER (E) AS SHOWN. ALSO, DO NOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN THE M6x1x45mm SPECIAL SCREWS (B) AND M6 LOCKNUTS (C). TABLE MUST BE ABLE TO TILT FREELY. Fasten the table (A) Fig.
. Using the 4mm wrench (L) Fig. 11, loosen the two screws (P) on bottom of bracket (M) that fasten bracket to rod (N). N M P L Fig. 11 10. Rotate bracket (M), to the position shown in Fig. 12. Loosen lock handle (R) and insert holddown rod (S) into hole in bracket (M), as shown. M S R 11. Rotate bracket (M) Fig. 13, back to its original position as shown, and tighten the two screws that were loosened in STEP 9. Then tighten lockhandle (R) to hold rod (S) in position. Fig. 12 S 12.
FASTENING SCROLL SAW TO SUPPORTING SURFACE Your scroll saw MUST be securely fastened to a stand or workbench using the holes in the four rubber feet, three of which are shown at (A) Fig. 16. IMPORTANT: When mounting the saw to a stand or workbench DO NOT over-tighten mounting bolts. Leave some cushion in the four rubber feet (A) for absorbing noise and vibration.
TABLE INSERT The table insert (A) can be assembled to the saw table with the opening in the insert pointing to the front of the table, as shown in Fig. 19, or to the right as shown in Fig. 20. With the table in the level position, 90 degrees to the blade, the insert (A) should be positioned, as shown in Fig. 19. This allows for the blade to be pivoted forward after it is unclamped from the top blade holder, enabling you to quickly insert the blade into the next hole in a pattern when doing inside-cutting.
3. Push chuck locking lever (C) Fig. 23, to the rear as shown. This will release the blade (D) from the upper chuck (E). E C D Fig. 23 4. Insert long end (F) Fig. 24, of quickset blade wrench into hole (G) in lower blade holder. This will align wrench (H) with blade holder screw (J). H J F G Fig. 24 5. Fig. 25 illustrates the quickset blade changing wrench (K) engaged with the lower blade holder assembly. Turn wrench counterclockwise to loosen screw (J) Figs.
ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION Tension is applied to the blade when the blade tension lever (A) Fig. 27, is in the rear position, as shown. When the lever (A) is moved forward, as shown in Fig. 28, blade tension is released. A When adjusting blade tension, lever (A) should be in the forward position, as shown in Fig. 28. To increase blade tension, turn knob (B) Fig. 28, clockwise and to decrease blade tension, turn knob (B) counterclockwise.
TILTING THE TABLE The table on your scroll saw can be tilted 45 degrees to the left for bevel cutting operations by loosening table lock handle (A) Fig. 30, tilt the table to the desired angle and tighten lock handle (A). A Fig. 30 When bevel cutting, the holddown (B) Fig. 31, can be adjusted to lay flat on the stock by loosening screw (C) and tilting the holddown (B) accordingly. Then tighten screw (C). C B Fig. 31 ADJUSTING THE TABLE 1.
ADJUSTING HOLDDOWN The holddown (A) Fig. 34, should be adjusted so it contacts the top surface of the work being cut by loosening lock handle (B) and moving holddown rod (C) up or down. Then tighten lock handle (B). B C A Fig. 34 ADJUSTING DUST BLOWER B The dust blower (A) Fig. 35, may be moved to direct air to the most effective point on the cutting line by loosening screw (B), adjust nozzle (A), and tighten screw (B). A Fig.
FOLLOWING A LINE With your scroll saw you should be able to cut a straight or curved line with ease. Most beginners will experience blade wandering; however, they eventually learn to control it as they become more familiar with the machine. Use scrap material to practice cuts before starting a project. This enables you to develop your own way of cutting and you will find out what you can and cannot do with your saw.
LUBRICATION Delta recommends that the scroll saw be oiled after each 20 hours of use, as follows: B 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. A 2. Remove four screws (A) Fig. 39, and remove side panel (B) from the scroll saw. 3. Release blade tension by pulling tension lever (C) Fig. 40, forward as shown. Fig. 39 4. Lubricate the shafts of two special screws (D) Fig. 41, with a few drops of light machine oil in the areas where they pass through the connecting link (E).
