ADJUSTMENTS

ALIGN THE BEVEL INDICATOR

1. The bevel indicator has been factory adjusted. It should be rechecked
prior to use for best operation.
2. Remove the blade guard / foot using a hex key to loosen the screw (T,
fig2).
3. Loosen the table bevel lock knob (R, fig1) and move the table until it is
at a right angle to the blade. Use a combination square to set the table
exactly 90° to the blade.
4. Lock the table bevel lock knob under the table to prevent movement.
5. Loosen the screw (U, fig 3) holding the bevel scale pointer and position
the pointer to 0°. Tighten the screw.
6. Re-attach the blade guard / foot, so that it rests flat against the table.
7. Tighten the screw.
NOTE: Avoid setting the edge of the table against the top of the motor,
which could cause noise when the saw is running.
MOUNTING THE SAW
1. Before operating the saw, it should be firmly mounted to a workbench or
another rigid framework.
2. Use the base of the saw to mark and pre-drill the mounting holes. If the
saw is to be used in one location, permanently secure it to the work
surface using wood screws, if mounting to wood. Use bolts, washers,
and nuts if mounting into metal.
3. To reduce noise and vibration, install a soft foam pad between the scroll
saw and the workbench.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury:
„ When carrying the saw, hold it close to your body to avoid injury to
your back. Bend your knees when lifting the saw.
„ Carry the saw by the base, not by the power cord.
„ Mount the saw in a position where people cannot stand, sit, or walk
behind it. Debris thrown from the saw could injure people standing,
sitting, or walking behind it.
„ Mount the saw on a firm, level surface where the saw cannot rock
and there is adequate room for handling and properly supporting the
workpiece.
BLADE GUARD / WORKPIECE HOLD-DOWN
ADJUSTMENT
When cutting at angles, the blade guard / foot should be adjusted so it is
parallel to the table and rests flat above the workpiece.
1. To adjust, loosen the screw (T, fig 2), tilt the foot so it is parallel to the
table, and re-tighten the screw.
2. Loosen the height adjustment knob to raise or lower the foot until it just
rests on top of the workpiece.
3. Tighten the knob.
