2. The blade teeth cut material ONLY on the down stroke.
3. Guide the wood into the blade slowly because the teeth
of the blade are very small and remove wood only on the
down stroke.
4. There is a learning curve for each person using this saw.
During that period of time it is expected that some blades
will break until you learn how to use the saw.
5. Best results are achieved when cutting wood one inch
thick or less.
6. When cutting wood thicker than one inch, guide the wood
very, very slowly into the blade and take extra care not to
bend or twist the blade while cutting in order to maximize
blade life.
7. Teeth on scroll saw blades wear out and the blades must
be replaced frequently for best cutting results. Scroll saw
blades generally stay sharp for 1/2 hour to 2 hours of
cutting.
8. To get accurate cuts, be prepared to compensate for the
blade's tendency to follow the wood grain as you are
cutting.
9. This scroll saw is primarily designed to cut wood or wood
products. For cutting precious and non-ferrous metals,
the variable control switch must be set at very slow
speeds.
10. When choosing a blade, use very fine, narrow blades to
scroll cut in thin wood 1/4" thick or less. Use wider blades
for thicker materials but this will reduce the ability to cut
tight curves.
11. Blades wear faster when cutting plywood or very abrasive
particle board. Angle cutting in hardwoods wears blades
down faster.
