1. Do notforce workpiece intothe blade, Allowthesaw
to cut the workpiece by .guidingthe wood intothe
blade.
2. The blade teeth cutwood ONLYon the downstroke.
3. You must guide the wood into the blade slowly
because the teeth of the blade are very small and
they can only remove wood when they are on the
down stroke.
4. There isa learning curve for each person using this
saw. Dudng that period of time, it isexpected that
some blades willbreak untilyoulearn howto usethe
saw and receivethe greatest benefitfromthe blades.
5. Best results are achieved when cutting wood less
than one inchthick.
6. When cutting wood thicker than one inch the user
mustguide thewood very, veryslowlyintothe blade,
and take extra care not to bend or twist the blade
while cutting in order to maximize blade life.
7. Teeth on scroll saw blades wear out and as such
mustbe replaced frequently for best cutting results.
Scroll saw blades generally stay sharp for 1t2 hour
to 2 houm of cutting.

10. When choosing a blade touse with your scroll saw,
consider the following carefully,
• Very fine, narrow blades should be used to scroll
cut in thin wood 1;4 inch thick or less.
• To cutwood over 1t4 inchthick, use wider blades.
• Most blade packages state'the size or thickness
of wood which that blade is intended to cut, and
the minimum radius which can be cut with that
blade.
• Wider blades can't cut curves as tight or small as
thinner blades.
• Narrower blades work well only on thinner wood
material.
11. When selecting the cutting speed, keep the lo Ilow-
ing in mind:
• Slower speeds are generally more effective than
faster speeds, especially when using thin blades
and making intricate cuts.
• To find the best speed, start at a slow speed and
gradually increasethe speed until the optimum
cutting rate isachieved.
12.This saw uses 5 inch long, plain end or pin type
blades. See your Sears Catalog or Retail Store for
accessory blades.
13. Blades wear faster when cutting plywood, which is
very abrasive, when sawing wood which is thicker
than the 3/4 inch, and when sawing hardwood, or
when side pressure is placed on the blade.
