Operating Instructions

If you are new to scroll saws, there will be a learning period, a period to learn the saw itself, and a period to
learn how the wood and saw work together. Expect some blade breakages, scroll saw blades are fairly
fragile, compared to blades found on a bandsaw or circular saw.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS
Make a last check that everything is secure, that the blade is tight and all none essential items have been cleared
away from the work area. Connect a dust extraction unit or vacuum cleaner to the dust extraction outlet on the
fretsaw.
SEE THE COVER OF THE MANUAL FOR WEARING THE CORRECT SAFETY
PROTECTION WHEN USING THIS MACHINE.
