Recommendations for cutting

Ascroll saw is basically a curve-cutting machine. It can

also be used for straight cutting and beveling or angle

cutting operations. Please read and understand the fol-

lowing items before attempting to use the saw.

1. When feeding the workpiece into the blade do not

force it against the blade. This could cause blade deflec-

tion. Allow the saw to cut the material by guiding the

workpiece into the blade as it cuts.

2. The blade teeth cut material ONLY on the down

stroke.

3. Guide the wood into the blade slowly because the

teeth of the blade are very small and remove wood only

on the down stroke.

4. There is a learning curve for each person using this

saw. During that period of time it is expected that some

blades will break until you learn how to use the saw.

5. Best results are achieved when cutting wood one inch

thick or less.

6. When cutting wood thicker than one inch, guide the

wood very, very slowly into the blade and take extra care

not to bend or twist the blade while cutting in order to

maximize blade life.

7. Teeth on scroll saw blades wear out and the blades

must be replaced frequently for best cutting results.

Scroll saw blades generally stay sharp for 1/2 hour to 2

hours of cutting.

8.To get accurate cuts, be prepared to compensate for

the blade's tendency to follow the wood grain as you are

cutting.

9. This scroll saw is primarily designed to cut wood or

wood products. For cutting precious and non-ferrous

metals, the variable control switch must be set at very

slow speeds.

10. When choosing a blade, use very fine, narrow blades

to scroll cut in thin wood 1/4" thick or less. Use wider

blades for thicker materials but this will reduce the ability

to cut tight curves.

11. Blades wear faster when cutting plywood or very

abrasive particle board. Angle cutting in hardwoods

wears blades down faster.

12. Always use the foot to keep workpiece against table.

It must be set just above the workpiece for free scrolling

allowance, leaving no more than a gap of 1/16 inch

between the foot and workpiece.
