The Moto-Saw is a compact and very easy to
use 2-in-1 scroll saw. It can be used either in
stationary mode, when the tool is docked in
its base or in hand-held mode. This tool is
intended to perform precise straight and
curved cuts in different materials including
soft wood, hard wood, composite boards,
laminate, PVC or soft sheet metal using the
applicable accessories recommended by
Dremel.
Operation - Hand-Held Mode
Using the Moto-Saw in hand-held mode is
advised when the work piece is too big or
fixed and therefore cannot be put onto and
maneuvered about the base. Typical hand-
held operation includes coping or shaping
large wood workpieces. Do not cut materials
other than wood in hand held mode.
Never leave the switch in
W RNING
"ON" position. Before
plugging the tool in, check that the
switches are "OFF". Accidental start-ups
may cause injury.
1. Grasp the Moto-Saw as shown in Fig. 15.
2. Adjust the variable speed dial based on
the blade and material you are going to
cut. You can refer to the chart on page 18
to determine the proper speed. This chart
enable you to select both the correct
accessory and the optimum speed at a
glance.
3. With the work securely clamped take the
tool the work and adjust the hold down foot
so that it rests on the workpiece, Fig. 16.
Never start the tool when
W RNING
the blade is in contact with
the workpiece. Allow the motor to come
up to full speed before starting a cut.
Having the blade in contact with the
workpiece on start up may cause loss of
control.
4. Turn the tool ON and let the tool come up
to speed before contacting the work piece.
The tool is switched "ON" by the slide
switch located on the front of primary
handle.
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON", slide the
switch button up.

Operating Instructions

The teeth of this tool only cut on the down
stroke. The work must be fed into the saw
blade very slowly because the teeth are
small and can remove only small amounts of
material on each stroke. Trying to cut too
fast will bend or break the blade.
To get most accurate cuts, compensate for
the blades tendency to follow the wood grain
as you are cutting.
