ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR SCROLL SAWS 1. WARNING: Do not operate your scroll saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. 2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of Scroll Saws, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person. 3. YOUR SCROLL SAW STAND MUST be fastened to the floor if there is any tendency for the stand to move during operation. 4. THIS SCROLL SAW is intended for indoor use only. 5.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING Your new scroll saw and stand is shipped complete in one container. Carefully unpack the saw, stand and all loose items from the shipping container. Figure 2 illustrates the saw and all loose items and Figure 3 illustrates the stand and all related parts. Remove the protective coating from the saw table surface. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose).

ASSEMBLING STAND A 1.
FASTENING SCROLL SAW TO STAND A 1. Place scroll saw on top braces of stand and fasten front of saw to top front brace using the two 1-1/2" long screws (A) Fig. 5, flat washers (B) and two flat washers (C), lock washers (D) and hex nuts (E) from below. C B D E A B Fig. 5 G F 2. Fasten the rear of the saw to the stand using the two 5/8" long screws (F) Fig. 6, and lock washers (G). The 5/8" long screws (F) are also shown in Fig.
ASSEMBLING REAR LEG HEIGHT EXTENSION 1. A height extension (A) Fig. 9, is supplied with your stand and can be assembled to the rear leg of the stand, as shown, using the four carriage bolts (B), flat washers and nuts supplied. The height extension enables you to tilt the saw forward during operation if desired. Five holes are supplied in the extension (A) to vary the degree of tilt. B A ASSEMBLING HOLDDOWN FOOT 1. With wrench supplied, assemble holddown foot (A) Fig.
CONNECTING SCROLL SAW TO POWER SOURCE IMPORTANT: BEFORE CONNECTING THE SAW TO THE POWER LINE, MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION. EXTENSION CORDS EXTENSION CORD SIZE The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this loss to a minimum, make sure the extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pole receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug.
FASTENING STAND TO SUPPORTING SURFACE If there is any tendency for the scroll saw to move during operation, the scroll saw stand must be fastened to the floor. OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS C A B Fig. 16 ON-OFF POWER SWITCH The on-off switch (A) Fig. 16, is located on the top of the arm, as shown. To turn the saw “ON” push down on the “ON” portion of the switch and to turn the saw “OFF” push down on the “OFF” portion of the switch.
DUST BLOWER A dust blower (A) Fig. 18, is provided, and can be moved to direct air to the most effective point on the cutting line. A Fig. 18 A A Fig. 19 Fig. 20 ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION Tension is applied to the blade when the blade tension lever (A) Fig. 19, is in the rear position, as shown. When the lever (A) is moved forward, as shown in Fig. 20, blade tension is released. To increase tension on the blade, rotate tension lever (A) Fig.
ADJUSTING CLAMPING ACTION OF BLADE HOLDERS Different widths of scroll saw blades will make it necessary to adjust the clamping action of the blade holders. It should be noted, however, that very little adjustment is necessary and very little clamping force is required to hold the blade satisfactorily.
CHANGING BLADES B 1. WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL STARTING, ALWAYS TURN SWITCH “OFF” AND REMOVE POWER CORD PLUG FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING OR REPLACING BLADE. A 2. Remove table insert (A) Fig. 24, and release blade tension by pulling tension lever (B) forward, as shown. Fig. 24 B E D 3. Push blade holder clamping lever (C) Fig. 25, to the rear as shown. This will automatically release the blade (D) from the upper blade holder (E). C 4.
TILTING THE TABLE 1. The table on your scroll saw can be tilted up to 45 degrees to the right for bevel cutting operations by loosening table lock handle (A) Fig. 27. Tilt the table to the desired angle and tighten lock handle (A). A scale and pointer (B) Fig. 27, is provided to determine the angle of tilt. 2. The table can also be tilted up to 15 degrees to the left for bevel cutting operations by lowering the stop block (C) Fig. 27, and tilting the table to the desired angle, as shown in Fig. 28.
ALIGNING LOWER BLADE HOLDER WITH UPPER BLADE HOLDER E The lower blade holder has been aligned with the upper blade holder at the factory and further alignment should not be necessary; however, to check or adjust the alignment, proceed as follows: 1. MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2. Remove the table insert and place a small straight edge (A) Fig. 32, against the side of the saw blade (B) as shown in Fig. 32. 3. While holding the straight edge (A) Fig.
FUSE REPLACEMENT A fuse holder (A) Fig. 36, and fuse (B) are located up under the rear of the machine and should be removed and checked if the machine does not operate. If the fuse (B) is bad, replace it with a 4 amp fuse. B A Fig. 36 BLADE BREAKAGE Blade breakage is usually caused by one or more of the following: 1. Bending the blade during installation. 2. Improper blade tension. 3. Improper blade selection for the work being cut. 4. Forcing the work into the blade too rapidly. 5.
