7.5 Mounting to bench or stand
The scroll saw should be
installed upon a sturdy, flat surface with all four
legs contacting the surface. Do NOT install with
saw partially hanging over edge of table or
workbench.
If scroll saw will not be bolted down to a surface,
install the four foot pads to reduce vibration. See
Figure 7-5. Lower hex nut may be adjusted for
height. Tighten top hex nut down against saw foot.
Figure 7-5: leveling foot
The preferred method is to mount the saw directly to
a solid workbench or table, or to the optional JET
stand. If mounting to a workbench, use the provided
rubber washers as a pad between saw and bench
to minimize vibration. See Figure 7-6.

included)
If a non-permanent method is preferred, an
alternative is to fasten the saw to a thick (minimum
3/4-inch) plywood board, then attach the board to a
table using clamps.
7.6 Installing optional accessories
7.6.1 Stand (optional)
1.
Assemble stand pieces, referring to Figure 7-7.
(Refer to exploded view, sect. 15.4.1, if further
clarification is needed.) Only finger-tighten all
fasteners at this time.
NOTE: One end of each leg (#5) forms a slight
"V" shape – this end goes at the top. The bottom
edge of the leg forms a straight line.
2.
The leg extensions (#10, Figure 7-7) can be
adjusted for height.
3.
If stand will not be bolted to the floor, install the
leveling feet (shown in Figure 7-5) that were
included with the scroll saw, onto the bottoms of
the stand leg extensions (Figure 7-7).
4.
Position stand upright on level floor. Push down
on stand assembly to settle it on floor, then fully
tighten all fasteners with 12mm wrench.
5.
Some scrollers prefer to tilt the saw toward them
for convenience. If this is desired, adjust only
the two front leg extensions.
6.
Mount scroll saw to stand, using fasteners
shown (also identified in Figure 7-2).

7.6.2 Blade storage (optional)
The optional blade rack (not provided) can be
mounted to a wall, workbench or other surface. See
Figure 7-8. It contains holes for storage of blades
inside "test tubes" (not provided). Additionally, there
are four slots for blade holder assemblies, and an
end hole to assist in installing blades into holders.
Figure 7-8: blade storage (optional accessory)
7.6.3 Foot pedal (optional)
Connect plug from scroll saw into receptacle on
back of foot pedal. Then plug foot pedal into power
source. (If not using foot pedal, plug saw directly into
power source; the on/off switch is then pressed to
start and stop the saw.)
