ON/OFF & SPEED CONTROL SWITCH (Fig. 20)

Always wait for the saw to come to a complete stop before restarting.

1. To turn the saw on, flip the ON/OFF switch to ON (2). When first starting the saw, it is best to move the speed

control knob (1) to the middle speed position.

2. Adjust the blade speed to the desired setting between 400 to 1600 strokes per minute (SPM). Turning the con-

trol knob clockwise increases speed; turning it counterclockwise reduces speed.

3. To turn the saw off, flip the ON/OFF switch back to OFF (2) in. Note: You can lock the scroll saw by removing

the tip of the switch. Just pry off the switch lock with your fingernails to prevent accidental operation.

WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental start-ups, always turn the switch OFF and unplug the scroll saw

before moving the tool, replacing the blade, or making adjustments.

FREEHAND CUTTING (Fig. 21)

1. Lay out desired design, or secure design to the work piece.

2. Raise the blade guard foot (1) by loosening the height adjustment knob (2).

3. Position the work piece against the blade and place the blade guard foot against the top surface of the work

piece.

4. Secure the blade guard foot (1) by tightening the height adjustment knob (2).

5. Remove the work piece from the blade prior to turning the scroll saw ON.

CAUTION: In order to avoid uncontrollable lifting of the work piece and to reduce blade breakage, do not turn

the switch on while the work piece is against the blade.

6. Slowly feed the work piece into the blade by guiding and pressing the work piece down against the table.

CAUTION: Do not force the leading edge of the work piece into the blade. The blade will deflect, reducing ac-

curacy of cut, and may break.

7. When the cut is complete, move the trailing edge of the work piece beyond the blade guard foot. Turn the

switch OFF.
