For standard scroll cutting, follow the pattern
line on the workpiece by pushing and turning the
workpiece at the same time, which allows the kerf
of the cut to make way for the turn.
DO NOT turn the workpiece without pushing it
through the blade at the same time; otherwise,
the blade could twist and break.
The scroll saw can be used to make internal cuts
without having to cut through the perimeter of
the workpiece.
To perform an interior scroll cutting operation,
do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Drill a 1 ⁄
4
" hole in the workpiece inside the
waste area of the internal cut.
3. Remove the table insert and the blade from
the saw.
Note: The workpiece must be wider than
the table insert hole so that it will not
fall through the table during the cutting
operation. If necessary, use a jig or support
form.
4. Insert the blade through the previously
drilled hole in the workpiece.
Note: If using a plain end blade, remove
one blade adapter to allow the blade to
be inserted through the workpiece, then
re-install the adapter on the blade.
5. Correctly re-install the blade.
6. Properly adjust the hold-down shoe and
guard, connect the saw to power, then
perform the cut.
7. When finished, disconnect the saw from
power, then remove the blade from the saw
and workpiece and re-install it back on the
saw.
