For standard scroll cutting, follow the pattern

line on the workpiece by pushing and turning the

workpiece at the same time, which allows the kerf

of the cut to make way for the turn.

DO NOT turn the workpiece without pushing it

through the blade at the same time; otherwise,

the blade could twist and break.

The scroll saw can be used to make internal cuts

without having to cut through the perimeter of

the workpiece.

To perform an interior scroll cutting operation,

do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Drill a

1

4

" hole in the workpiece inside the

waste area of the internal cut.

3. Remove the table insert and the blade from

the saw.

Note: The workpiece must be wider than

the table insert hole so that it will not

fall through the table during the cutting

operation. If necessary, use a jig or support

form.

4. Insert the blade through the previously

drilled hole in the workpiece.

Note: If using a plain end blade, remove

one blade adapter to allow the blade to

be inserted through the workpiece, then

re-install the adapter on the blade.

5. Correctly re-install the blade.

6. Properly adjust the hold-down shoe and

guard, connect the saw to power, then

perform the cut.

7. When finished, disconnect the saw from

power, then remove the blade from the saw

and workpiece and re-install it back on the

saw.
