the work surface. Let it dry then use a clean piece of cloth to buff
the surface out. Reapply as necessary for a smooth nish.
Work piece holder & Front guard
Mounting to a workbench
The variable speed scroll
saw features four holes in
the base for mounting to a
workbench or worktable.
This is recommended to gain
maximum stability and reduce
noise and vibration. It is best to
attach the variable speed scroll
saw to a stable, at surface at
a convenient working height.
Each hole in the base should
be bolted securely using bolts,
lock washers and nuts (not
supplied).
If you are using the variable speed scroll saw in several different
places, it is recommended that you fasten it permanently to a
mounting board that can be clamped to a workbench or worktable. The
mounting board should be large enough to prevent the variable speed
scroll saw from tipping while in use. A minimum 19mm thickness is
recommended.
Note: It may be necessary to countersink the bolt head on the bottom
side of mounting board.
Reducing noise and vibration
Place a foam pad or a piece of carpet between the variable speed
scroll saw and the workbench to further reduce noise and vibration.
The size should be approximately 610mm x 305mm x 13mm thick. If
padding is to be used do not overtighten the mounting bolts.

The variable speed scroll saw accepts 127mm - 133mm pin end
scroll saw blades. The blade width, thickness and the number of teeth
per inch will be determined by the material and size of the radius
being cut. Very ne narrow blades should be used to scroll cut in thin
material, 6mm thick or less. Wider blades cannot cut curves as tight
or as small as thinner blades. To cut thicker material, use wider blades
with fewer teeth.
Blade selection
• When cutting wood, best
results are achieved with
pieces less than 25mm
thick

Adjusting the table insert
The way that the table insert is positioned depends on whether a
straight cut or bevel cut is required. Incorrect positioning can result in
damaging the table insert and damaged or broken blades.
• For a straight cut the table
insert opening must be
positioned as shown.
1. Remove the table insert, by pushing up from the bottom of the table.
2. Position the opening of the table insert depending on the cutting
application required.
3. Align the 4 grooves in the table insert with the lugs on the table and
gently push into place.
Adjusting the height
To prevent the workpiece from lifting, the
work piece holder should be adjusted so it
just sits on top of the workpiece. The work
piece holder should not be adjusted so
tightly that the workpiece drags.
1. Loosen the work piece holder
lock knob.
2. Lower or raise the work piece holder
to the desired position.
3. Retighten the work piece holder lock
knob.
Adjusting the angle
When bevel cutting the work piece holder must be adjusted so it is

• Tension (or tighten) the blade further
by turning the blade tension lever
clockwise.
• Release (or loosen) the blade
further by turning the blade tension
lever anti-clockwise.
Tighten the blade with the clamp lever
by pressing down again. Check tension
by the sound the blade makes when
plucking the blade, similar to plucking
a guitar string. This requires good
knowledge of your scroll saw.
• Pluck the back edge of the blade. The sound should be a musical
note. The sound becomes less at as tension increases.
The sound level will decrease with too much tension.
Note: Be careful as over tension may cause the blade to break as soon
as you start cutting. Too little tension may cause the blade to bend or
break.

SCROLL SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including
the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock,
personal injury and material damage.
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New
Zealand.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect
the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged
or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension
lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk
of re and electric shock.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live“ and could give the operator an
electric shock.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they don’t play with the appliance.
We recommend the use of a residual current device with a rated residual current
of 30mA or less.
• Pull out all nails in the material before starting to saw. Cutting nails may damage your tool.
• Do not operate your scroll saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions and until you have read and understood all of the instructions.
• Do not touch moving parts with your ngers or hands.
• Ensure that you have tightened the blade prior to starting the machine.
• When nishing sawing, wait until the saw blade has ceased moving prior to removing it from
the material.
• Do not touch the saw blade immediately after use. Allow time for the blade to cool, otherwise it
could burn you due to the heat generated during sawing.
• Always check accessories to ensure that they are suitable for the operating speeds of this tool.
• Incorrect accessories can break apart at high speed and cause serious damage or personal
injury.
• Never turn your scroll saw on before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.)
except for the workpiece.
• Hold the work rmly against the table.
• Do not feed the material too fast while cutting. Only feed the material fast enough so that the
blade will cut.
• Never leave the scroll saw running unattended. Always turn the saw off, make sure that it has
come to a complete stop, and then remove plug from the power supply before leaving the work
area.
• Use caution when cutting off material which is irregular in cross section as it could pinch the
blade before the cut is completed. A piece of moulding, for example, must lay at on the table
and not be permitted to rock whilst being cut.
WARNING! Some dust created by sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
The risk from such exposures vary depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals; work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specically designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when drilling/ chiselling
overhead. Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause health
complications.
Caution: Always Wear safety goggles, ear protection and a respiratory mask.

MAINTENANCE
Carbon brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out the tool will
spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as
this happens.
They should be replaced prior to recommencing
use of the tool. Carbon brushes are a wearing
component of the tool and are therefore not
covered under warranty. Continuing to use the tool when carbon
brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent damage to the
tool. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses but when the
carbon brushes need to be replaced take the tool to an electrician or
a power tool repairer for a quick and low cost replacement. Always
replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
Inspecting or replacing the fuse
When required, inspect or replace blown fuse.
1. Switch off and disconnect variable speed
scroll saw from mains power supply.
2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the
fuse holder together with the fuse.
3. Remove fuse from fuse holder, inspect and
replace with new 5 amp, 250V fuse if required. A fuse is blown when
the lament (thin silver wire) is broken or out of place (not centred).
Always replace a fuse with the same amperage rating as the one
that came out.
4. Ret fuse holder together with fuse.
Clearing dust (access hole)
Over time sawdust can accumulate
behind the dust port if dust extraction
is not used, this should be checked
periodically.
•Using a brush or vacuum, clean away
the sawdust and any broken blades
that may have accumulated.
Note: This panel hole gives easy access to the lower blade holder, and
will aid in the tting of blades.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or
injuries caused by repair of the scroll saw by an unauthorised person
or by mishandling.
• Keep the ventilation vents of the tool clean at all times, if possible,
prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free
from all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles
may cause the tool to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the tool requires cleaning do not use solvents but
a moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
• The motor mount screws could work loose over time, periodically
inspect and when required tighten the screws.
• Re-application of a paste wax (not included) on the entire saw table
will allow the work piece to glide smoothly across the work surface.
Let it dry then use a clean piece of cloth to buff the surface out.
Squaring the table to the blade
1. Loosen the table bevel lock knob to
allow the saw table to be approximately
at a right angle to the blade.
2. Place a square on the saw table next
to the blade to check if the table is at
a 90° angle to the blade. If not, then
adjustment is required. Change the
bevel angle until the saw table is at a
90° angle to the blade and tighten the
table bevel lock knob.
3. Loosen the screw holding the scale pointer.
Move the pointer to the 0° position and tighten
the screw.
Oiling arm bearings
Lubricate the arm bearings every 50 hours of use or whenever
there is a squeak coming from the bearings.
1. Carefully place the saw on its side and remove the rubber caps from
the upper and lower arm of the saw.
2. Squirt a few drops of SAE 20 oil on
the end of the shaft and bearings.
3. Leave the saw in this position
overnight to allow the oil time to
soak in.
4. Replace the rubber caps and repeat
the above procedure on the opposite
side of the saw.
