ASSEMBLY
CLAMPING SCROLL SAW TO
WORKBENCH
See Figure 7.
If the scroll saw is to be used in a portable application,
we recommend that you fasten it permanently to a
mounting board that can easily be clamped to a
workbench or other supporting surface. The mounting
board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping of
saw while in use.
■ Mount saw to board using holes in frame as a
template for hole pattern or the diagram in
Figure 6. Locate and mark the holes where scroll
saw is to be mounted.
■ Follow last three steps in previous section called
Mounting Scroll Saw to Workbench.
Make sure mounting bolts are long enough to go
through holes in the saw frame, material being
mounted to, lock washers, and hex nuts.
Note: It may be necessary to countersink hex nuts
and washers on bottom side of mounting board.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that
could cause possible serious personal injury,
turn off the saw and unplug before making any
adjustments.
HOLD DOWN FOOT/BLADE GUARD
See Figure 8.
The hold down should be adjusted so it contacts the
top surface of the work being cut. Tighten adjusting
knob after adjustment has been made.
■ Loosen the hold down foot lock knob.
■ Move the hold down foot to the desired position.
■ Tighten the hold down foot lock knob.
The tall, front part of the hold down foot acts as a
blade guard to prevent accidental contact with the
blade.
SAWDUST BLOWER

The dust blower is designed and preset to direct air to
the most effective point on the cutting line. Be sure
hold down foot is properly adjusted to properly secure

surface.
