Your Craftsman@
ScrollSaw/Sander
was thor-
oughlyinspected
torigid
standards
priorto
leaving
the manufacturer's
factory
and should
give
you
many
years
ofsatisfactory
service.
Occasionally,
when
the
Craftsman@
Scroll
Saw/
Sanderis removed
fromits
carton
andthetable
attached,
the
userwill
notice
that
the
blade
does
not
appear
to
be
perpendicular
tothe
table
surface
(Figure
1).
Before
attempting
to correct
this
condition,
first
checktoseethat
the
tableis
inits
horizontal
orzero
degree
(0")
position.
Useasquare
orotherright
an-
gle
device
(apiece
ofpaper
wilt
suffice)
tocheck
the
blade
position
relative
tothe
table
surface
(Figure
2).
lfthe
bladeis
not
perpendicular
tothe
table,
simply
push
the
upperarm
ofthe
sawframe
in
the
direction
thatwill
correct
the
bladealignment(Figure
3).
Handling
the
saw
byholding
the
upper
arm
ofthe
sawframe
(Figure

also
causethe
saw
blade
to
tiltfromthe

This
is
not

canbe
easily
corrected
by,again,
applyingslight
pressure
tothe
upper
arm
of
the

frameinthe
direction
that
willcorrect
thealignment
(Figure

lftheuseravoids
the
natural
tendency
to use
the
upperarmof the frame
asa handle
when
lifting
or
moving
the
saw,there
should
benofurther
need
to
realign
the
blade.Figure
5shows
the
proper
way
to
pick
upthe
Scroll
Saw.
Before
deciding
on anyadjustment,
it is recom-
mended
that
you operate
thesaw andmake
some
trial
cutsso that
youcan
experience
scroll
cutting.
Besureto check
themounting
of the
sawblade
in
theblade
holder
prior
tocutting.
Generally
the
blade
ismounted
sothat
the
teeth
arefacing

How-
ever,
thebladecan
bemounted
with
the
teeth
facing
the side.Alwayshave
