Rules for Safe Operation
3
1. Be sure to read, understand and follow all safety warnings and
instructions in the supplied Operator’s Manual.
2. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under the
effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reflexes
or alertness. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention.
3. Keep the work area well lit, clean and free of debris. Cluttered
areas and benches invite injuries.
4. Keep children and shop visitors at a safe distance while
operating the saw; do not permit them to operate the scroll saw.
5. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery
with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys, to prevent
unauthorised or unsupervised use. Fine particulate dust is a
carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well
ventilated area and use a dust collector whenever possible.
7. Wear approved safety glasses, dust mask and nonskid
footwear. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces
or jewellery while operating the saw. Keep long hair contained by
wearing protective hair covering.
8. Be sure all adjustment tools, wrenches or other
clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface
before operation. When not in use, tools should be locked-up
in a dry place, out of children’s reach and away from flammable
substances.
9. Keep hands well away from saw blade and all moving parts.
Use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and sawdust.
10. Be sure that the saw blade is properly installed, and in the
correct cutting direction, before operation. Always use a clean,
properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can
lead to accidents. Also, be sure the blade has gained full operating
speed before beginning to cut.
11. Do not push or force wood into the blade. The saw will perform
better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was
designed. Do not use for purposes not intended.
12. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not
overreach while cutting; keep both feet on floor. Never lean over
or reach behind the blade and never pull the work piece through
the cut from behind.
13. Never stand or lean on the saw. Serious injury could occur if the
unit is tipped over or if the blade is unintentionally contacted.
14. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by Axminster
Tool Centre may result in equipment malfunction or risk of injury.
15. Never leave the machine unattended while running or with
the power “ON”.
16. Always turn off and disconnect from power source before
servicing or changing accessories, blades, bits, and cutters, or
before performing any maintenance or adjustments.
17. Make sure that switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging
in the power cord. Do not use the saw if the power switch is
defected, have defective switches replaced by an authorized
service centre.
18. Make sure saw is properly grounded. If equipped with a three
prong plug it should be used with a three-pole receptacle. Never
remove the third prong. Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, stoves, refrigerators).
19. Repairs to the saw should only be carried out by qualified
people using original spare parts. A guard or other damaged part
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
centre.
20. Inspect power cords and extension wires periodically. If
damaged, have them repaired by an authorized service facility.
Never yank cords and wires and keep away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
21. This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use
in wet or damp locations.
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s
applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. Axminster Tool
Centre disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any
injury that may result from the improper use of its equipment.

Choosing & Installing a Saw Blade
It is strongly recommended that you mount the machine to a workbench or to
a purpose built stand, a pad between the scroll saw and the workbench/stand
is also recommended to reduce vibration.
Drill four 8mm holes in your workbench/stand and secure using
nuts bolts washers (Not Included).
abcd
Slot the guard clamping arm (d) through the pre-drilled hole in the hexagon clamp (c). Insert the hexagon
clamp (c) into the brackets hexagon recess, place the washer (b) over the hexagon clamp thread and secure
using the butterfly clamping knob (a).
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN otherwise you may strip the thread Saw guard assembly (d) assembled

Adjusting the Osolation (Front to Back) Top & Bottom Blade holder Alignment
Place a 90˚ square upagainst the blade, the blade movement
can be set between course and fine for different cutting tasks,
this can be adjusted by rotating the motor within its’ mounts.
Loosen the motor mounting cap head bolts, see figs A enough
to be able to rotate the motor (this can be quite stiff to turn),
start the machine and run at approximately 1/4 speed. By
rotating the motor, see fig B and carefully observing the blade
you will be able to see the blade changing its setting. The
finest setting is where the blade moves vertically with the
least amount of movement, see fig C backward and forwards
horizontally. This should also be where the machine vibrates
the least. When you have the setting where you wish it to be,
tighten the motor mounting bolts.
If the blade is out of alignment please follow the procedures below for
adjusting the top and bottom blade holders:
Place a 90˚ square upagainst the blade, see fig A. Using a 4mm
Hex key (a) adjust the grub screw and butterfly nut (b), see fig
B, until the blade is parallel with the square. (See figs C and D).

Foot Switch with Trailing Plug & Socket
These two foot-operated safety switches are equipped with
trailing plugs and sockets and can easily be inserted between the
mains supply and any machine fitted with a no volt release switch,
such as a drill, bandsaw or lathe.
Operation of the switch interrupts the supply to the solenoid
and the machine is stopped; re-starting can only be achieved by
operating the NVR switch on the machine, creating an excellent
safety measure in those situations where safety is of paramount.
