Basic Scroll Saw Operations
Making Interior Scroll Cuts
(Pin-End Blades and Plain-End Blades)
TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING,
ALWAYS TURN SWITCH “OFF” AND
REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE
REMOVING OR REPLACING THE BLADE.
A main benefit of this saw is the ability to perform intricate
interior cuts quickly and easily. This is best accomplished
using the Quick Release Tension Lever. Simply follow these
steps (Fig. 12):
1. Drill appropriate sized pilot hole in work piece.
2. Release Quick Release Tension Lever.
3 Remove the blade from the upper blade holder as explained
on page 12 Removing and Installing (Pin-End) or (Plain-End)
blades.
4. Thread blade through pilot hole from underneath the work-
piece. If needed, remove the table insert. This will allow the
blade to fall forward for more clearance between the workpiece
and the upper arm housing. Reinstall the blade in the upper
blade holder.
5. Retension blade by pulling tension lever down.
6. Lower drop foot until it just rests on top of the workpiece and
you’re ready to begin cutting.
7. When finished making the interior scroll cuts simply remove
the blade from the blade holders, as described on page 12
Removing and Installing (Pin-End) or (Plain-End) blades, and
remove the board from the table.
