1. To turn the saw or rotary on, press the switch (1) to the ON (I)
position.
2. Turn the variable speed knob (2) to adjust the blade speed or
rotary speed to the desired setting. Turning the control knob

Freehand cutting (Fig. 21)
1. Lay out desired design, or secure design to the workpiece.
2. Raise the blade guard foot (1) by loosening the height
adjustment knob (2).
3. Position the workpiece against the blade and place the
blade guard foot against the top surface of the workpiece.
4. Secure the blade guard foot (1) by tightening the height
adjustment knob (2).
5. Remove the workpiece from the blade prior to turning the
scroll saw ON.
CAUTION: In order to avoid uncontrollable lifting of the
workpiece and to reduce blade breakage, do not turn the
switch on while the workpiece is against the blade.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by guiding and
pressing the workpiece down against the table.
CAUTION: Do not force the leading edge of the workpiece into the blade. The blade will deflect,
reducing accuracy of cut, and may break.
7. When the cut is complete, move the trailing edge of the workpiece beyond the blade guard foot. Turn
the switch OFF.
