• Dust Blower: The dust blower keeps the line of cut on the
workpiece clean for more accurate scroll cuts. For best
results, always direct air ow at the blade and
the workpiece.
• LED Light: With an easy ON/OFF switch, the LED light
keeps the line of cut on the workpiece lit for more accurate
scroll cuts.
• Dust Extraction Port: This feature will alow you to attach
the vacuum hose for easy dust collection.
• LED Light Switch: A power switch that turns the LED
light on and off.
• Bevel Adjustment Knob: Allows you to tilt the table and
lock it at the desired angle, up to 45° right and left.
• Upper and Lower Blade Holders: Upper and lower blade
holders provide support and location of the saw blade.
• Table Insert: The table insert is located on the table slot
to support the workpiece with respect to the blade.
It prevents movement of the workpiece from the work table.
• Work Table: The surface where the workpiece is attached
to while performing cutting operations.
• Rubber Feet: The rubber feet are provided on four corners
of the table base.
• To Avoid Injury from Kickback:
• Hold the workpiece rmly against the tabletop.
• Do not feed the workpiece too fast while cutting. Only
feed the workpiece at the rate the saw will cut.
• Install the blade with the teeth pointing downward.
• Do not start the saw with the workpiece pressing against
the blade. Slowly feed the workpiece into the moving
blade.
• Use caution when cutting round or irregularly shaped
work pieces. Round items will roll and irregularly shaped
work pieces can pinch the blade.
• Blade Thickness: The blade thickness is the distance
between sides of blade. A thicker blade has more rigidity
and stronger teeth. A narrow, thick blade is used to make
curves and a wide, thin blade is used to make long,
straight cuts.
• Blade Pitch: The blade pitch is the number of teeth per
inch or tooth size. A blade with more teeth per inch
produces a smoother cut. The type of material to be cut
determines the number of teeth that should be in contact
with the workpiece.
• Freehand: Performing a cut without the workpiece being
guided by a fence, miter gauge or other aid. Workpiece
must supported by the work table.
• ON/OFF Switch: The ON/OFF swtich located on the top
of the scroll saw, allows the operator to turn ON/OFF the
scroll saw easily, and it turns the dust blower on and off.
• Bevel Scale and Bevel Indicator: The bevel scale and
bevel indicator show the angle of the saw blade with
respect to the work table.
• Storage Compartment: Located under the right side of
the work table used for storage of small accessories such
as saw blades or hex keys.
• Blade Guard: Protects the operator’s hand from being
cut while providing a clear view of the material to be cut
during cuts.
• Blade Tension Knob: Loosen or tighten blade tension by
pushing the blade tension knob up or down.
• Drop Foot and Drop Foot Lock Knob: The drop 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
protector to prevent accidental blade contact.
• Variable Speed Knob: Turn the knob to adjust the speed
from the high speed of approximately 1600 RPM to the
low speed of approximately 400 RPM.
