4.1. Bevel Cut: A cutting operation made with the saw table at any angle other than 90° to the blade.

4.2. Compound Mitre Cut: A compound mitre cut is a mitre cut with a bevel.

4.3. Crosscut: Cut made across the grain or width of the work piece.

4.4. Freehand: (for scroll saw): Performing a cut without the work piece being guided by a fence or mitre gauge. The work piece must
be supported by the table.

4.5. Gum: A sticky, sap based residue of wood products.

4.6. Kerf: The material removed by the blade in a through cut or the slot produced by the blade in a non-through or partial cut.

4.7. KickBack: Projection of the work piece. Sudden recoil of the work piece usually due to the work piece not being against the fence,
hitting the blade or being accidentally pushed against the blade instead of a kerf being sawn in the work piece.

4.8. Leading End: The end of the work piece pushed into the cutting tool rst.

4.9. Push Stick: A device which is used to feed the work piece through the saw blade during narrow ripping operations and which helps
keep the operator’s hands well away from the blade.

4.10. Resaw: A cutting operation to reduce the thickness of the work piece to make thinner pieces.

4.11. Ripping: A cutting operation along the length of the work piece.

4.12. Saw Blade Path: The area directly in line with the blade (over, under, behind, or in front of it). As it applies to the work piece, the
area which will be, or has been, cut by the blade.

4.13. Set: Operation which consists in setting the tip of the saw blade teeth to the right or left to improve clearance and make it easier for
the body of the blade to penetrate the material.

4.14. SPM: Strokes per minute. Used in reference to blade movement.

4.15. Through cut: Any cutting operation where the blade cuts through the entire thickness of

the work piece.

4.16. Work piece: The item which is being cut. The surfaces of a work piece are commonly

referred to as faces, ends, and edges.

4.17. Worktable: The surface on which the work piece rests during a cutting or sanding operation.

5. CONTENTS & ASSEMBLY

 WARNING! DO NOT attempt to lift saw by holding the upper blade arm as this will cause

5.2. Main Parts Description

Before attempting to use your saw, familiarise yourself with all the operating features and safety requirements of your scroll saw. fig.4.

5.2.1. Sawdust Blower: Keeps the line of cut on the work piece clean for more accurate scroll cuts. For best results, always direct the airflow at
the blade and the work piece.

5.2.2. Saw Table with Throat Plate: Your scroll saw has a saw table with tilt control for maximum accuracy. The throat plate, inserted in the
saw table, allows for blade clearance.

5.2.3. Switch: Your scroll saw has an easy access power switch. 0 = OFF I=ON

5.2.4. Table Lock: Allows you to tilt the table and lock it at the desired angle (up to 45°).

5.2.5. Bevel Scale: The bevel scale shows you the degree at which the saw table is tilted.

5.2.6. Drop Foot: This foot should always be lowered until it just rests on top of the work piece to prevent it from lifting, yet not so much as to
make the work piece drag.

5.2.7. Blade Clamp Screws: Blade clamp screws are used to tighten and loosen the blade clamps when changing saw blades.

5.2.8. Drop Foot Lock: This allows you to raise or to lower the drop foot and lock it in the required position.

5.2.9. Blade Tensioner & Adjuster: To loosen or tighten blade tension, flip the lever over centre and turn the blade tension wheel.

5.2.10. Speed Selector: Turn to adjust the speed from 400 to 1,600 strokes per minute.

5.2.11. Sawdust Outlet: This feature will allow you to attach any 1¼ in. (32 mm) vacuum hose for easy sawdust collection.

5.3. Bolting the Scroll Saw onto a Workbench.

 WARNING! To avoid serious personal injury from unexpected tool

movement, securely mount the scroll saw onto a workbench. If the
scroll saw is to be used in a specific location, we recommend that
you secure it to a workbench in a permanent way. For this purpose,
holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of the
workbench.

5.3.1. Each hole in the base of the saw should be bolted securely using

machine bolts, washers, and nuts (not included).

5.3.2. Bolts should be long enough to accommodate the saw base, washers,

nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. 5 of each required.

4.3.3. Place the scroll saw on the workbench. Using the saw base as a

pattern, locate and mark the holes where the scroll saw is to be
mounted.

5.3.3. Drill four holes through the workbench.

5.3.4. Place the scroll saw on the workbench aligning the holes in the saw

base with the holes drilled in the workbench.

5.3.5. Insert all four bolts (not included) and tighten securely with washers

and nuts (not included).
Note: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Fit the washers and
nuts from the underside of the bench.
The supporting surface where the scroll saw is mounted should be
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement will
occur while cutting.

5.4. Clamping the Scroll Saw to the Workbench. See Fig.5

If the scroll saw is to be used in several different places, 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 large enough to prevent the saw
from tipping while in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a

3/4in. (19mm) thickness is recommended.

5.4.1. Mount the saw onto the board using the holes in the saw base as a
template for the hole pattern. Locate and mark the holes on the board.

5.4.2. Follow the last three steps in the previous section called Mounting the
Scroll Saw onto a Workbench.

5.4.3. Make sure they are long enough to go through the holes in the saw
base, the board on which the saw is mounted, and the washers and nuts.
