APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purposes:
 Cutting wood, wood composition products, plastic, and
other fibrous material up to 2 in. thick
BASIC OPERATION OF THE SCROLL SAW
Before starting a cut, watch the saw run. If you experience
excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop immediately. Turn
the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw. Do
not restart until locating and correcting the problem.
NOTE: After the saw is turned ON, a hesitation before blade
movement is normal.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
 There is a learning curve for each person who wants to
use this saw. During that period of time it is expected that
some blades will break until you learn how to use and
adjust the saw.
 Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to
finish.
 Keep your hands away from the blade. Do not hand hold
pieces so small your fingers will go under the blade guard.
 Hold the workpiece firmly against the saw table.
 The blade teeth cut material only on the down stroke.
 Use gentle pressure and both hands when feeding the
work into the blade. Do not force the work.
 Guide the workpiece into the blade slowly because the
teeth of the blade are very small and can only remove
material on the down stroke.

OPERATION

 Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause serious injury from contact with
the blade. Never place hands in blade path.
 To get accurate cuts, compensate for the blade's ten-
dency to follow the wood grain as you are cutting wood.
 Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) when
cutting large, small or awkward workpieces.
 Never use another person as a substitute for a table
extension or as additional support for a workpiece that
is longer or wider than the basic saw table.
 When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your
work so it will not pinch the blade. Workpieces must not
twist, rock or slip while being cut.
REMOVING JAMMED MATERIAL
When backing out the workpiece, the blade may bind in the
kerf (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust clogging the
kerf or when the blade comes out of the blade holders. If
this happens:
 Wait until the saw has come to a full and complete stop.
 Place the switch in the OFF position, remove the switch
key from the switch assembly. Store key in a safe place.
 Unplug the saw from the power source.
 Remove the saw blade and the workpiece, see section on
Installing and Removing the Blades.
 Wedge the kerf open with a flat screwdriver or wooden
wedge then remove the blade from the workpiece.
WARNING
Before removing loose or jammed pieces from the table,
turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop to avoid
serious personal injury.
AVOIDING INJURY
 Make sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw should
always be on a firm, level surface with plenty of room for
handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
 Bolt saw to the support surface to prevent slipping, walk-
ing or sliding during operations like cutting long, heavy
boards.
 Turn saw off, remove switch key, and unplug cord from
the power source before moving the saw.
 Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has come
to a full and complete stop.
 Choose the right size and style blade for the material and
type of cut you plan to do.
 Use only recommended accessories.
 With the exception of the workpiece and related support
devices, clear everything off the saw table before turning
the saw on.
 Properly support round materials such as dowel rods or
