ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SCROLL
SAWS
1. Never stand on your scroll saw.
Standing on your Scroll Saw or its stand could cause serious injury and damage
to the machine. Do not store materials above or near the tool so that it is
necessary to stand on the tool or its stands to reach them.
2. Check damaged parts.
If any part of the Scroll Saw is damaged, before further use, check carefully that it
will operate properly and perform its intended operation. Any guard or other part
that is damaged should be correctly repaired or replaced.
3. Safe working practices.
Never operate the scroll Saw if taking medication that can cause drowsiness or
when having consumed alcohol or drugs.It is recommended that the Scroll saw
be bolted to a bench with sufficient working space around it.
4. Do not leave the scroll saw running unattended.
Turn off power to machine and unplug mains cable. Do not stop the machine with
work still in contact with the blade.
5. General description
The Scroll Saw is a static indoor machine not suitable for use outdoor. The
machine uses a single-phase alternating current 230V~50Hz motor. Do not
attempt to cut pieces of material too small to hold by hand outside the blade
guard. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to
move into the blade.
Avoid the risk of the workpiece jumping upwards, ensure the blade teeth point
downward toward the table.
To avoid blade breakage always adjust blade tension correctly.
6. To avoid losing control of the work piece or tool:
When cutting a large piece of material make sure it is fully supported at table
height. Hold the work piece firmly against the table. Do not force the material
while cutting. Only feed the material fast enough so that the blade maintains a
smooth cutting speed. Use caution when cutting off material which is irregular in
cross section, which could pinch the blade before the cut is completed. A piece of
moulding for example must lay on the table and not be permitted to rock while
being cut. Use caution when cutting off round material such as dowel rods or
tubing . They have a tendency to roll while being cut causing the blade to bite.
Use a Vblock to control the piece. When backing the blade out of the workpiece,
the blade may bind in the kerf (cut) this is usually caused by sawdust clogging up
the kerf. If this happens, turn off the Scroll Saw, remove plug from power source
outlet, wedge open the kerf, and then back the blade out of the workpiece. To
avoid misuse or accidents due to inattention, never leave the scroll saw work area
with the power on or before the machine has come to a complete stop.
Do not perform layout, assembly or set up work on the table while saw is in
operation. Turn the saw off and remove plug from power supply before installing
or removing an accessory or attachment. Never turn your scroll saw on before
clearing the table of all objects (tools scraps of wood etc).
7. Damaged or missing parts.
Should any part of this Scroll Saw be missing, bent or fail in any way or any
electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off the power switch and

remove the plug from power supply.
Replace damaged, missing and/or failed parts before resuming operation.
8. Think safety.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness whenever the
scroll saw is in operation. The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown in to the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles before commencing power tool operation.
Warning:
Always wear safety goggles or face shield. Install blade with teeth pointing down
towards the table. Keep fingers a safe distance from the blade.
Never leave the scroll saw work area with the power on. Adjust blade tension by hand
(not with a tool) before turning on. Maintain control of the workpiece at all times, hold
firmly against the table.

ASSEMBLY OF THE SCROLL SAW
Warning: For your own safety never
connect plug to power source until all
assembly steps are complete.
Caution: Never lift this saw by the arm,
which holds the blade or damage will occur
to your saw.
Locate the blade guard and carefully install it onto
the saw as shown. (See Fig2) Secure the blade
guard to the frame by a bolt, washer and knob.
Your scroll saw is fitted with a small blow pump
to help keep the blade and work area clean.
Insert pipe onto blower, point outlet pipe towards
blade.
Setting the table for horizontal or bevel
cutting
The Scroll Saw worktable can be tilted to the left
for bevel cutting up to 45O from 0O or horizontal
position. (See Fig3)
A bevel scale is provided under the worktables
as a convenient reference for setting the
approximate table angle for bevel cutting. When
greater precision is required, make practice
cuts and adjust the table as necessary for your
requirements.
To align the bevel indicator
Loosen the table locking knob and move the table
until it is approximately perpendicular or at a
right angle to the blade. (See Fig4)
Use a small set square to set the table at 90
degrees to the blade. When the space between
the set square and the blade is minimal, tighten
the bevel locking knob. The table should now be
approximately 90 degrees to the blade. (See Fig5)
Loosen the screw holding the bevel scale pointer
and adjust pointer to 0 degrees. Tighten screw.
Remember the bevel scale is a convenient guide
but should not be relied upon for precision. Make
practice cuts in scrap wood to determine if your
angle settings are correct. Adjust the table as
required.
Removing and installing blades
Warning: To avoid injury from accidental
starting, always turn switch “off” and
remove the plug from electrical outlet

before removing or replacing the blade.
Loosen tension on the blade by turning tension
knob check just until the tension spring is fully
compressed. (See Fig6) Remove blade by pulling
forward on blade and then lifting the blade
through the access hole in the table.
Slight downward pressure against the upper
arm may be helpful when removing blade from
upper holder. (See Fig7) Look at the blade holders
closely and notice the blade slots and pin recesses
in the blade holder. The blade holder is made so
you can position the blade for cutting from the
front or from the side of the saw. Cutting from
the side of the saw will be necessary when your
work piece exceeds 406mm (16 inch) in length.
With the blade positioned for side cutting the
table must always remain in the 0 degrees bevel
position. (See Fig8)
Warning: Do not attempt to cut a bevel
with the blade positioned for side
cutting.
Mounting the scroll saw to a bench
This saw must be mounted on a solid non
moving surface ie a heavy duty bench by
means of suitable bolts(not supplied).We also
recommend using a soft foam pad between the
saw and the work surface(not provided) which
will greatly reduce noice and vibration.
Do not over tighten mounting bolts
Leave some cushion in the foam pad for
absorbing noise and vibration.
To turn the machine on push the green button
marked “I”, To turn the machine off, push in the
red button marked “0”.
Note:
Never leave the machine unattended until it has
come to a complete stop. Your machine has been
fitted with the latest type of safety switch and
will automatically switch to the off position when
the machine is disconnected from the power
supply.

OPERATION
Please read and understand the following
guidelines for your scroll saw before
attempting to use it:
There is a skill level associated with using a
Scroll saw. Until you have practiced with the
saw and built up your skill level, be prepared for
the possibility that you might snap the blades.
Following these simple guidelines will help you
achieve best results from your saw:
a) Do not aggressively push wood onto the
blade. Adopt a “feeding” motion and allow
the saw to cut the wood by guiding it onto the
blade. Remember the blade cuts on the down
stroke only.
b) Best results are achieved when cutting wood
less that 25mm thick. When cutting wood thicker
than this feed the wood slowly onto the blade
and be careful not to bend or twist the blade.
c) Replace your blade when it becomes blunt.
d) Be prepared to compensate for the blade
tendency to follow the grain of the wood.
e) As a guide to blade selection very fine narrow
blades should be used to cut in thin wood
(6mm). For wider timber use wider blades.Check
the instructions that come with the blades for
guidance.
f) As a general guide wider blades will not cut
curves as accurate as a narrow blade.
g) Do not apply side pressure to the blade
h) Blades will wear quicker when cutting
plywood or timber over 25mm thick.
Making interior scroll cuts
One of the features of this saw is that it
can be used to make scroll cuts on the interior
of a board without breaking or cutting into the
outline or perimeter of the board.
Warning: To avoid injury from
accidental starting, always turn switch

off and remove the plug before removing
or replacing the blade.
To make interior cuts in a board remove the
scroll saw blade as explained in the assembly
section. Drill a 6mm (1/4”) hole in the board you
will use to make interior cuts. Place the board
on the saw table with the hole in the board
over the access hole in the table. Install blade
through hole in the board, re-attach blade to
blade holders and adjust blade tension. (See
Fig9) When finished making the interior scroll
cuts simply remove the blade from the blade
holders as described in the assembly section
and remove the board from the table.
