FEATURES
Sawdust Blower

accurate scroll cuts. For best results, always direct air flow
at the blade and the workpiece.

maximum accuracy. The throat plate, inserted in the saw
table, allows for blade clearance.

the OFF position, remove the yellow switch key. Place the
key in a location inaccessible to children and others not
qualified to use the tool.

KNOW YOUR SCROLL SAW
Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with
all the operating features and safety requirements of your
Ryobi scroll saw.
See Figure 4.
This versatile, variable speed scroll saw is great for making
toys, puzzles, games, artwork, and jewelry. It is a handy do-
it-yourself tool. It cuts wood, wood composition products,
plastic, and other fibrous material up to 2 in. (51 mm)
thick.
It also cuts nonferrous metals (aluminum, brass, copper).
Bevel Scale
The bevel scale and indicator show you the degree the saw
table is tilted.
Blade Clamp Screws
Blade clamp screws are used when changing saw blades.
Blade Tension Knob
Loosen or tighten the blade tension by turning the blade
tension knob.
Drop Foot
This foot should always be lowered until it just rests on top of
the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from lifting, yet not so
much that the workpiece drags.
Drop Foot Lock Knob
Allows you to raise or lower the drop foot and lock it in place.
