BEVELING
The material hold-down (F) Fig. 7 should contact the
surface of the workpiece. To adjust the material hold-
down, loosen the thumbscrew (D) Fig. 7 and move the
rod up or down.
The material hold-down must be beveled when the table
is beveled. To bevel the material hold-down, loosen the
hex screw (E) Fig. 9 and bevel the material hold-down
until it is parallel to the table. Retighten the material
hold-down before cutting.
NOTE: When cutting, ensure the material hold-down
does not contact the bottom arm of the scroll saw. Your
scroll saw has a maximum thickness capacity of 2” (50.8
mm). Do not cut material thicker than 2” (50.8 mm).
NEVER remove the material hold-down since it also
functions as a barrier between ngers and blade.
the bevel lock knob (H) Fig. 8, and bevel the table to the
desired setting on the bevel scale (J), indicated by the
bevel pointer (I).
NOTE: Before tilting the table for bevel cuts of 45°,
check the clearance around the lower thumbscrew. To
faciliate an accurate 45° cut, the thumbscrew and set
screw may need to change places. On the setscrew
side, sufficient clearance is available.
Your scroll saw features an adjustable air (G) Fig. 7 hose
to keep your work area free from dust and debris. Be
sure to position the air hose properly: it should blow saw
dust away from the operator.
Your scroll saw features a variable speed control, from
400 to 1,750 strokes per minute. To operate the variable
speed feature, turn the speed control knob (C) Fig. 6
with the saw running.
To increase the speed, turn the knob clockwise. The
numbers on the control knob represent speed ranges.
One is the minimum speed, 8 is the maximum speed.
Slower speeds are recommended for metals, plastics,
harder woods and very thin materials.
INSIDE CUTS
Your scroll saw is ideal for making inside cuts for detail
work. To make an inside cut:
1. Drill a pilot hole in your workpiece.
2. Make sure the blade tension lever is moved fully to
the right.
3. Loosen the top thumbscrew blade clamp.
4. Leaving the blade held in place by the bottom blade
clamp, lift the top arm of the scroll saw, as shown
in Figure 9. Thread the saw blade through the pilot
hole in your workpiece and reattach the blade by
tightening the top thumbscrew.
5. Readjust the blade tension and begin the inside cut.
Alternately, you can loosen the bottom thumbscrew
blade clamp in step 3 above, and thread the blade
through the top of the workpiece.
NOTE: Do not lift saw by upper arm. Damage will occur.
Hold material rmly against table. Always feed material
toward the blade. Feed the workpiece enough to allow
the blade to cut, but do not force material into blade too
quickly.
The table of your scroll saw bevels 45° left and right. A
detent is set at 0°. To bevel the scroll saw table, loosen

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause
injury.
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear certied safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air.
