ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible
serious personal injury, turn off the saw and unplug
before making any adjustments.
HOLD DOWN FOOT/BLADE GUARD
See Figure 7.
The hold down foot should be adjusted so it applies light
pressure to the top surface of the work being cut. Tighten
securely after adjustment has been made.
■ Loosen the hold down foot lock lever.
■ Move the hold down foot to the desired position.
■ Tighten the hold down foot lock lever.
The tall, front part of the hold down foot acts as a blade guard
to prevent accidental contact with the blade.
SAWDUST BLOWER
See Figure 7.
The dust blower is designed and preset to direct air to the
most effective point on the cutting line. Be sure hold down
foot is properly adjusted to secure workpiece and to direct air
to the cutting surface.
CLAMPING SCROLL SAW TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 6.
If the scroll saw is to be used in a portable application, we
recommend 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 suffi-
cient size to avoid tipping of saw while in use.
■ Mount saw to board using holes in frame as a template for
hole pattern or the diagram in
Figure 5. Locate and mark
the holes where scroll saw is to be mounted.
■ Follow last three steps in previous section called Mount-
ing Scroll Saw to Workbench.
Make sure mounting bolts are long enough to go through
holes in the saw frame, material being mounted to, lock
washers, and hex nuts.
Note: It may be necessary to countersink hex nuts and
washers on bottom side of mounting board.
