guard foot against the top surface of the work piece.

6. Secure the blade guard foot in place by tightening the height adjustment knob.

7. 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 reduce blade breakage, do not turn the

switch on while the work piece is against the blade.

8. Position the work piece against the straight edge prior to touching the leading edge of the work piece against the

blade.

9. Slowly feed the work piece into the blade, guiding the work piece against the straight edge 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 the

accuracy of the cut, and may even break.

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

switch OFF.
