ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
To avoid electrical hazards, re hazards, or
damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a
separate electrical circuit for your tool. Your tool is wired at
the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 1.6 Amp
circuit and use a 1.6 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
To avoid shock or re, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged
in any way, have it replaced immediately.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric currents
and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electrical cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not t the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualied
electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with
the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualied electrician or service person if you do
not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you
are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged
grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
This tool must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must
not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a 1.6
Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the electric
current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Use an extension cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power, overheating and burning out of the motor. The table
below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it
repaired by a qualied technician before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
WARNING
This tool is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle
like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged
electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor.
If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter
(Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a
two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a
permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box.
In all cases, make certain the receptacle
is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a
qualied electrician check the receptacle.

SAWDUST BLOWER (FIG. N)
The sawdust blower (1) should be
positioned to point to the blade and
workpiece to blow sawdust out of
the line-of-sight when cutting.
It is not designed to blow all
of the sawdust off the table.
This scroll saw accepts 5 in. (127 mm) length blades with a
wide variety of blade thickness and widths. The type of
material and cutting operations (size of radius or curve) will
determine the number of teeth per inch. As a rule, always
select the narrowest blades for intricate curve cutting and the
widest blades for straight and large curve cutting operations.
The following table represents suggestions for various
materials. When purchasing blades, refer to the back of
the package for the best use of blades and speeds on various
materials.
Use this table as an example, but practice and your own
personal preference will determine the best selection method.

suggestions.
NOTE: The blade must be installed with the teeth pointing
downward, to prevent the workpiece from being pulled
upward by the saw blade action.

OPERATING THE TOOL
11
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL AND ON/OFF SWITCH
For your own safety, always push
the switch “OFF” when the scroll saw is not in use.
Also, in the case of power failure (all of your lights go out)
push the knob “OFF”. Remove the plug from the power
source outlet to avoid accidental starting.
CAUTION
ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. P)
1. To turn power ON, press on/off switch (1) to “ON”
position.
2. To turn power OFF, press on/off switch (1)
to “OFF” position.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL KNOB (FIG. P)
The variable speed control allows greater versatility to cut a
variety of materials such as wood, plastics, non-ferrous
metals, etc. Depending on the hardness and thickness of
material, the speed should be reduced to allow the blade
teeth to remove cut material from the kerf.
1. Your saw is equipped with a variable speed control
knob (2). The blade stroke rate may be adjusted by
simply rotating the variable speed control knob (2).
2. Turn the speed control knob clockwise to increase
up to 1,500 strokes per minute (SPM). Turn the speed
control knob counterclockwise to reduce down to
500 strokes per minute (SPM).
WORK LIGHT (FIG. P)
1. To turn work light on,
press the rocker
switch (3)

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CUTTING
1. When feeding the workpiece into the blade do not force
the leading edge of the workpiece into the blade because
the it will deect the blade, reduce the accuracy of
cutting and possibly break the blade. Allow the saw to
cut material by guiding the workpiece into the blade
as it cuts.
2. The blade teeth cut material ONLY on the down stroke.
3. You must guide the wood into the blade slowly because
the teeth of the blade are very small and they can only
remove wood when they are on the down stroke.
4. There is a learning curve for each person who wants to
use this saw. During that period of time it is expected
that some blades will break until you learn how to use
the saw and receive the greatest benet from the blades.
5. Best results are achieved when cutting wood less than
one inch (25.4 mm) thick.
6. When cutting wood thicker than one inch (25.4 mm),
the user must guide the wood 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. When teeth of scroll saw blade worn out, must replace
the new blade. Check the blade frequently for best
cutting results. Scroll saw blades generally stay sharp
for 1/2 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 intended to cut wood or wood products.
10. When choosing a blade to use with your scroll saw,
consider very ne, narrow blades to scroll cut in thin
wood in 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) thick or less. Use wider blades
for thicker materials but this will reduce the ability
to cut tight curves.
11. This saw uses 5 in. (127 mm) long pin or plain end
type blades.
12. Blades wear faster when cutting plywood or particle
board which is very abrasive. Angle cutting in hardwoods
reduces blade tooth set faster due to the blade deection.
FREEHAND CUTTING (FIG. Q)
1. Lay out desired design, or secure design to
the workpiece (1).
2. Raise the blade guard foot (2) by loosening the blade
guard foot lock knob (3).
3. Position the workpiece against the blade and place
the blade guard foot slightly above the top surface
of the workpiece.
4. Secure the blade guard foot (2) by tightening the blade
guard foot lock knob (3).
5. Remove the workpiece from the blade before turning
the scroll saw ON. Set the desired speed by turning the
speed control knob (4) clockwise or counterclockwise.
In order to avoid uncontrollable lifting of
the workpiece and to reduce blade breakage, do not
turn saw ON while the workpiece is against the blade.
CAUTION
6. When turning the scroll saw ON, position the workpiece
against scrap wood prior to touching the leading edge
of the workpiece against the blade.
NOTE: For your own safety, use the scrap wood to
perform the cutting especially for the small workpiece.
7. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by guiding and
pressing the workpiece down against the table.
8. When the cut is
complete, move
the trailing pieces
of the workpiece
beyond the blade
guard foot. Turn
the scroll saw OFF.
Do not force the leading edge of
the workpiece into the blade, it may deect
the blade, reduce accuracy of cutting, and possibly break
the blade.
