ASSEMBLY
MOUNTING SCROLL SAW TO WORKBENCH
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury from unexpected tool
movement, always securely mount scroll saw to a
workbench.
If the scroll saw is to be used in a permanent application, we
recommend that you secure it in a permanent location such
as a workbench. When mounting the saw to a workbench,
holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of the
workbench.
■ Each hole in the base of the saw should be bolted securely
using machine bolts, washers, and nuts (not included).
Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the
saw base, washers, nuts and the thickness of the
workbench.
■ Place scroll saw on workbench. Using the saw base as a
pattern, locate and mark the holes where the scroll saw is
to be mounted.
■ Drill four holes through the workbench.
■ Place scroll saw on workbench aligning holes in the saw
base with the holes drilled in the workbench.
■ Mount saw to board using holes in saw base as a template
for hole pattern. Locate and mark the holes where scroll
saw is to be mounted.
■ Follow last three steps in previous section called Mounting
Scroll Saw to Workbench.
If lag bolts are being used, make sure they are long enough
to go through holes in the saw base and the material the saw
is being mounted to.
If machine bolts are being used, make sure they are long
enough to go through holes in the saw base, the material the
saw is being mounted to, and the washers and nuts.
Note: It may be necessary to countersink washers and nuts
on the bottom side of mounting board.

■ Insert all four bolts (not included) and tighten securely with
washers and nuts (not included).
Note: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install the
washers and nuts from the underside of the bench.
Supporting surface where scroll saw is mounted should be
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement
during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure
workbench or supporting surface before beginning cutting
operations.
Reducing Noise and Vibration:
You may wish to place a foam pad or piece of carpet between
the saw base and the workbench to help reduce noise and
vibration.
If a foam pad or piece of carpet is used, do not overtighten
the mounting bolts. Leave some cushion between the padding
and the saw base to help absorb the noise and vibration. The
size of the padding material should be approximatedly 30 in.
x 15 in. x 1/2 in. (780mm x 390mm x 13mm).
CLAMPING SCROLL SAW TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 2.
If the scroll saw is to be used in a portable application, it is
recommended that you fasten it permanently to a mounting
board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other
supporting surface. The mounting board should be of sufficient
size to avoid tipping of saw while in use. Any good grade
plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in. (19mm) thickess is
recommended.
MOUNTING THE BLADE GUARD ON THE DROP
FOOT ROD
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, pls mounting the blade
guard before using your saw.
■ Take out the blade guard from polyfoam box,
■ Use 4 mm Hex key to loose and remove the M5 screw on
the drop foot rod,
■ Use the M5 screw through the gain of the blade guard and
fix it to the drop foot rod,
■ Reasonably tight up and adjust the M5 screw to make sure
the blade guard vertical with the table
