Perfect for the hobby user who wants a more
advanced scroll saw, the RSS16E is a machine that
will allow you to take on more advanced projects.
Based around a cast iron base with cast alloy body
and table, it’s not too heavy to move and the
integrated handle makes this an easy task. Several
features make this scroll saw stand out: variable
motor speed giving a good cutting range for many
tasks, easy blade changing plus it can take both
pinned and un-pinned blades in the same blade
holders. The table tilts both ways up to 45° with a
geared hand knob. A clever flexible stalk combines a
blower nozzle and LED work light to keep the work
clear and illuminated. There is a hinge out blade tray
for convenient blade storage. A 35mm dust outlet
allows connection to a small vacuum extractor and
a wrap-around eye shield is supplied. Rubber feet
are provided for bench or worktable use; however,
for best performance we do recommend bolting the
machine to either a steel stand or sturdy workbench.
This would be a good choice of machine to let your
hobby skills grow.
General Safety Instructions for 230V Machines
Good Working Practices/Safety
The following suggestions will enable you to observe
good working practices, keep yourself and fellow
workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment
in good working order.
WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE
REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
Primary Precautions
Work Place/Environment
The machine is supplied with a moulded 13 Amp.
Plug and 3 core power cable. Before using the tool
inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that
neither are damaged. If any damage is visible have
the tool inspected /repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug, it
is preferable to use an ‘unbreakable’ type that will
resist damage on site. Only use a 13 Amp plug, make
sure the cable clamp is tightened securely. Fuse at 5
Amp. It is also good practice to use switched outlets.
If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same
safety checks on them, and ensure that they are
correctly rated to safely supply the current that is
required for your machine.
Always mount the machine on a flat, level, stable
surface. There are several methods of achieving this,
bolting the machine directly to a ‘good solid
workbench’, bolting the machine to a sturdy base
board that can be clamped to the ‘good solid
workbench’; create an independent entity by bolting
the machine to its own stand. However you mount
your machine, make sure it is fastened down and
stable before use. The machine is not designed for
sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is
liable to get wet. If the machine is set up in the open,
and it starts to rain (unusual though this would be in
U.K.), cover it up or move it into the dry. If machine
has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth
or paper towel.
Do not
use 230V a.c. powered machines anywhere
within a site area that is flooded or puddled, and do
not trail extension cables across wet areas.
Keep
the machines clean; it will enable you to more
easily see any damage that may have occurred.
KEEP THE WORK AREA AS
UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL,
THIS INCLUDES PERSONNEL AS
WELL AS MATERIAL. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK
AREAS.
It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged
until work is about to commence, also make sure
to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or
unattended. Always disconnect by pulling on the
plug body and not the cable. Once you are ready to
commence work, remove all tools used in the setting
operations (if any) and place safely out of the way.
Re-connect the machine.
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc..
If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate
General Safety Instructions for 230V Machines
5
flying grit, dust or chips, wear the appropriate safety
clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc., and if the work
operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear
ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style,
wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a
sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair
being caught up in the rotating parts of the tool,
likewise, consideration should be given to the
removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable
to be a ‘snag’ hazard. Consideration should also be
given to non-slip footwear, etc..
Do not
work with cutting tools of any description
if you are tired, your attention is wandering or you
are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost
fingertip or worse; is not worth it!
NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED.
Turn the power OFF. Do not leave machine until it
comes to a complete stop.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF.
Cover the saw
adequately when not in use to prevent children from
damaging themselves by tampering with it.
NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE.
Serious injury
could occur if the machine is tipped or if a cutting
tool is accidentally contacted.
DO NOT
store materials above or near a machine,
such that it is necessary to stand on the machine to
reach them.
HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE
Whenever
transporting or installing machinery, and always
use a lifting tool.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Ensure the switch is
OFF before plugging in to mains.
BE AWARE
that accidents are caused by carelessness
due to familiarity. ALWAYS concentrate on the job in
hand, no matter how trivial it may seem.
DO NOT
use this machine within the designated
safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas
where there may be volatile gases. There are very
expensive, very specialised machines for working in
these areas,
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
CHECK
that blades are the correct type and size, are
undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will
maintain their operating performance and lessen the
loading on the machine. Above all,
OBSERVE….
make
sure you know what is happening around you, and
USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
Additional Safety Instructions for Scroll Saw
1.
Wear safety goggles as protection against flying
wood chips and saw dust. In many cases, a full face
shield is even better protection. A dust mask is also
recommended to keep saw dust out of your lungs.
2.
The scroll saw must be bolted securely to a stand
or workbench. If the saw has a tendency to move
during certain operations, bolt the stand or
workbench to the floor.
3.
A solid wood workbench is stronger and more
stable than a workbench with a plywood table.
4.
This scroll saw is for indoor use only.
5.
Do not cut pieces of material which are too small
to be held by hand.
6.
Clear the work table of all objects except the work
piece (tools, scraps .rulers etc.) before turning the
saw on.
7.
Make sure the blades’ teeth are pointing down,
toward the table, and that the blade tension is
correct.
8.
When cutting a large piece of material, support it
at the height of the table.
9.
Do not feed the work piece through the blade too
fast. Feed only as fast as the blade will cut.
10.
Keep your fingers away from the blade. Use a
push stick as you near the end of the cut.
11.
Take care when cutting a work piece which is
irregular in cross section. Moulding for example must
lie flat, and not ‘rock’ on the table as it is being cut. A
suitable support must be used.
12.
Take care when backing off a work piece from
the blade, as the blade may bind in the ‘kerf. In this
Additional Safety Instructions for Scroll Saw
6
event, switch OFF the machine and disconnect from
the supply. Wedge open the kerf, and withdraw the
work piece.
13. Switch off the saw, and make sure the blade has
come to a complete stop before clearing sawdust or
off-cuts from the table.
14. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in
the part of the work piece to be sawn.
15. Be extra cautious with very large or small, or
irregularly shaped work pieces.
16. Set up the machine and make all adjustments
with the power OFF, and disconnected from the
supply.
17. DO NOT operate the machine with the covers off.
They must all be in place and securely fastened when
performing any operation
18. Be sure to use the correct blade size and type.
19. Use ONLY approved replacement saw blades.
Contact your local Axminster Tool Centre for advice.
The use of inferior blades may increase the risk of
injury.

2)
Place the work piece on the table and lower the
guard so its just above the work piece.
3)
Switch on the scroll saw by pressing the ‘GREEN
ON’ button, see fig 17.
4)
Increase the speed to 400rpm, supporting the
work piece with both hands slowly guide the work
piece forward into the blade, see fig 18.
NOTE: You must guide the wood into the blade
SLOWLY, because the teeth are very small, and it
cuts ONLY on the downward stroke. If you push
the wood into the blade too rapidly, you can easily
break the blade.
NOTE: If you find the blade is struggling to cut
through, increase the speed by turning the variable
speed knob.
Fig 17-18
5)
Once you have completed your cut, switch off the
scroll saw by pressing the red ‘OFF’ button.
6)
If you have finished using the scroll saw, clean
above and below the work table and using a damp
cloth wipe the scroll saw over.
7) If the scroll saw is not going to be used for a period
of time, smear a light coat of oil over the work table to
prevent the table from rusting and place a dust sheet
over the scroll saw.
Tilting the table to 45˚
1)
Loosen the table’s butterfly clamp and rotate the
table to + /- 45˚ degrees and re-tighten clamp, see
fig 19.

3)
Switch on the scroll saw by pressing the green
‘ON’ button, set the variable speed and carefully
guide the work piece into the blade, see fig 22.
Once you have completed your cut, switch off the
scroll saw by pressing the red ’OFF’ button.
Fig 22
The scroll saw’s unique ability is cutting intricate
curves which other saws cannot do. A scroll saw can
also be used for straight line cutting such as cross
cuts, ripping and bevels. The following is a list of
points to remember when using a scroll saw.
1)
The saw does not cut wood by itself. You feed the
work piece into the blade, letting the blade cut the
wood as you move the piece ahead.
2)
You must guide the wood into the blade SLOWLY,
because the teeth are very small, and cut ONLY on
the down stroke. If you push the wood into the blade
too rapidly, you can easily break the blade.
3)
Although the capacity of the saw accepts wood up
to 2” thick, better results are obtained with wood no
more than 1” thick. For wood thicker than 1”, you must
guide the wood into the blade very slowly, taking
care not to bend or twist the blade.
4) The teeth on the blade will wear out sooner or later.
The blade must therefore be replaced often to obtain
the best cutting results. A blade will stay sharp for half
an hour to 2 hours of continuous running, depending
on the material being cut.
5) Be aware that the blade has a tendency to follow
the grain of the wood. You can compensate for this by
watching the grain carefully and guiding the wood
past the saw blade.
6) If you are not familiar with scroll saws, there will
naturally be a learning period - a period to learn the
saw itself, and a period to learn how the wood and saw
work together. Expect some blade breakages, scroll saw
blades are fairly fragile not the same types of blade you
find on a handsaw or circular saw.
Cutting Intricate Patterns
Scroll Saw Operating Characteristics
One capability a scroll saw has that other saws do not,
is cutting intricate patterns inside a work piece. To do
this, you should adopt the following procedure.
1. Drill a 1/4” hole in the middle of the work piece, in a
area which will not be a part of the finished object.
2. Switch off and unplug the machine from the supply.
3. Remove the blade from the machine. (See pages
16-17).
4. Place the work piece on the table, with the 1/4” hole
over the access hole in the table.
5. Replace the blade, through the hole in the work
piece, (with the teeth pointing downwards), and
re-tension the blade.
6. Plug the saw back in.
Check to ensure that the work piece is not touching
the blade before switching ON.

Notes on Saw Blades
BLADES BREAK FOR FIVE PRINCIPAL REASONS
1.
Too much tension or too little tension on the blade.
2.
Overworking the blade by feeding the work piece
too fast.
3.
Twisting or bending the blade by feeding the work
piece off-centre.
4.
Over use, the blade has reached the end of its
useful life.
5.
Maximum cutting depth 50mm and exceeding the
depth for which it was designed.
How to determine the right blade for the job
The scroll saw will accept a wide variety of blade
widths and thicknesses. The width of the blade, the
thickness of the blade and the number of teeth per
inch (TPI) are determined by the type of material and
size of the radius being cut.
As a general rule, select the narrowest blades
recommended for intricate curve cutting and
widest blades for straight and large curve operations.
See our full range of scroll saw blades and
accessories in our catalogue or contact us by
phone or visit our website.

Checking & Replacing the Motor Brushes
After a period of time the scroll saw’s motor brushes
are due to wear and may need replacing, please
follow the instruction below for checking and
replacing the brushes.
1)
There are two motor brush ports one on either side
of the machine, using a small flat head screwdriver
remove one of the motor’s brush access plugs and
place safely aside, see fig 35-36.
NOTE: Be careful when removing the plug, the motor
brush is sprung loaded.
NOTE: Take careful note of the orientation of the
brushes when you remove them, remember that
they have bedded themselves to the profile of the
commutator in that position. If you fit them reversed
they may not be in exactly the same position, which
can cause excessive sparking and heat until they
have re-bedded themselves.
2)
Carefully remove the motor brush, see fig 37. Check
the brush for signs of wear If it’s O.K. re-fit. If the brush
is badly worn, replace with a new one.
3)
Repeat the process for the other motor brush.
WARNING! DISCONNECT THE
SCROLL SAW FROM THE MAINS
BEFORE CONTINUING.

Tools, and bench top grinders - no registration necessary just proof of purchase.
We will repair or replace at our discretion and will collect only from a UK
mainland address, irrespective of the original delivery address.
The Guarantee assumes that you have bought the correct machine for the
required operation, in accordance with our guidelines; have operated and
maintained it in accordance with the instruction manual; and that all cutting
machines will be used with a blade which is sharp and serviceable at all times.
It does not cover consumable items purchased with the original product,
including original blades or abrasives.
Normal wear and tear; misuse, abuse and neglect are excluded and the machine
should not have been modified in any way. Please do not attempt to service the
product without first contacting us; we are happy to guide you but failure to do
so may invalidate the guarantee.
The Guarantee is transferable from owner to owner in the first three years but
you must have original proof of purchase. Should we need to replace a machine
in the first three years the guarantee will still continue to be effective from the
original purchase date.
