2
.
When
making
finish
cuts,
position
the

.
3.Feed
wood
directly
into
the
saw
teeth
.
Don't
side
load
the

important
when
scrolling
.
4.If
you
are
cuttingawarped
board,
position
it
with
the
concave
side
DOWN
.
5.Never
force
the
wood
into
the blade.Let the
saw
do
the
work
.
6
.
When
cutting
very
smallpieces,
useastick
to
push
the
wood
into
the
blade
.
7.Do
not
pull
material
being
cut

to
prevent
the
blade
from
