RIP OR STRAIGHT LINE CUTTING
(Fig. 13)
• Raise the drop foot by loosening the drop foot lock knob.
• Measure from the tip of the blade to the desired distance.
Position the straight edge parallel to the blade at that
distance.
• Clamp the straight edge to the table.
• Recheck your measurements using the workpiece to be
cut and make sure the straight edge is secure.
• Position the drop foot against the the top surface of the
workpiece.
• Secure the drop foot in place by tightening the drop foot
lock knob.
• Remove the workpiece from the blade prior to turning the
scroll saw on.
INTERIOR CUTTING (Fig. 14)
• Lay out the design on the workpiece. Drill a 1/4" (0.6 cm)
hole in the workpiece.
• Remove the blade. Refer to the section “Blade Removal
and Installation.”
• Place the workpiece on the work table with the hole in the
workpiece over the access hole in the work table.
• Install a blade through the hole in the workpiece.
• Follow steps 3-7, under “Freehand Cutting”.
• When nished making the interior scroll cuts, simply turn
the scroll saw off.
FIG. 14
• When the cut is complete, move the trailing edge of the workpiece beyond the drop foot. Turn the switch off.
OPERATION
CAUTION: Do not force the leading edge of the workpiece into the blade. The blade will deect, reducing accuracy
of cut, and it may break.
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.
• Position the workpiece against the straight edge prior to touching the leading edge of the workpiece against the blade.
• Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade, guiding the workpiece against the straight edge and pressing the workpiece
down against the table.
Unplug the saw before removing the blade from the blade
holder. Remove the workpiece from the table.
