6. Slowly rotate entire motor by hand to adjust
oscillation. Clockwise rotation will make blade
movement more aggressive on downstroke.
Counter-clockwise will make blade more
aggressive on upstroke. See Figure 23.
TIP: If more rotation is needed, turn off saw
and install motor mount screws in second set
of holes behind motor flange.
7. When desired oscillation is achieved, securely
tighten motor mount screws (M).

6.8 Arm lift retention

Refer to Figure 21.
If arm will not remain in position after being raised,
loosen hex nut (14mm wrench) and slightly turn
adjustment screw clockwise
screwdriver, until arm remains in raised position.
Do not overtighten. Tighten hex nut.

6.9 Blower nozzle

Adjust blower nozzle away from operator, and as
close to blade as needed without interfering with
blade or workpiece movement.

7 Operations

7.1 General operating tips

1. Always use a clean, sharp blade.
2. Maintain proper posture to avoid strain. Saw
table should be set approximately level with
operator's elbows.
3. Avoid wrist or finger strain which can occur by
constantly pushing workpiece against table.
Always use hold-down whenever possible.
4. Guide the wood into the blade slowly to
prevent blade breakage.
5. You will achieve best results when cutting
wood less than 1-inch thick. When cutting
stock thicker than 1-inch, guide the stock very
slowly into the blade, taking care not to bend
or twist the blade.

6. Blade should have minimum 3 teeth in contact
with workpiece at all times.
7. Make relief cuts as needed to prevent binding
of blade in workpiece.
8. A blade has a tendency to follow the wood
grain. Be prepared to compensate for this to
achieve accurate cuts.
9. Use caution when sawing round pieces, such
as dowels, which tend to roll while cutting.
10. Keep fingers away from cutting path. Avoid
awkward hand positions or getting fingers
wedged between saw arm and workpiece
when cutting small workpieces.
11. For fretwork, drill all needed pilot holes at the
same time before moving to the scroll saw.
Drill pilot holes as close as possible to
reference lines.
12. As a general rule, select the narrowest blades
recommended for intricate curve cutting, and
widest blades for straight cuts or large curve
cuts.
13. Run saw only at high enough speed to
efficiently do the work. Constant running at
maximum speed is not necessary for most
operations, may reduce control of the cutting
process, and may hasten wear on the saw.

7.2 On/off controls

Main switch ( P,Figure 22): Turn on to activate
magnetic switch.
Then Push on/off switch (Q,Figure 22-1): to ON
position (I); saw will operate. Press switch to OFF
position (O) to stop.
