FEATURES
On/Off Knob with Variable Speed
Pull the knob out to turn ON the scroll saw and push the knob
in to turn OFF the scroll saw. Turn the knob to adjust the
speed from the high speed of approximately 1,600 SPM
(strokes per minute) to the low speed of approximately 500
SPM.
Sawdust Blower/Light
With an easy ON/OFF switch, the sawdust blower/light
keeps the line of cut on the workpiece clean and lighted for
more accurate scroll cuts. For best results, always direct air
flow at the blade and the workpiece.
Sawdust Exhaust
This feature will allow you to attach any 1-1/4 in. (32 mm)
vacuum hose for easy sawdust collection.
Saw Table with Throat Plate
Your scroll saw has an aluminum saw table with tilt control
for maximum accuracy. The throat plate, inserted in the saw
table, allows for blade clearance.
Switch
A power switch that turns the sawdust blower/light on and off.
Table Lock Knob
Allows you to tilt the table and lock it at the desired angle up
to 45
°.

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 the degree the saw table
is tilted.
Blade Clamp Screws
Blade clamp screws are used when changing saw blades.
Blade Storage Drawer
Attached under the left side of the table is a blade storage
drawer. It will hold up to 20 blades.
Blade Tension Knob
Loosen or tighten blade tension by turning the blade tension
knob.
Drop Foot and Drop Foot Lock Knob
This foot should 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. The vertical portion provides
a blade guard to prevent accidental blade contact.
