Hold-Down.Shoe.
&.Blade.Guard
The hold-down shoe and blade guard are mounted on the
same rod and are adjusted together. The hold-down shoe
keeps the workpiece from raising up from the force of the
moving blade. The blade guard helps prevent debris from
flying at the operator and acts as a barrier between the
blade and the operator's hands, thus reducing the risk of
accidental contact.

steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Note: When tilting table for angle cutting
operations, adjust shoe so it is parallel with table.
4. Lower blade guard over shoe.
5. Re-tighten hold-down lock knob and shoe screw, then

Chip.Blower
The chip blower moves air across the blade to keep wood
debris away from the line of the cut. This makes it easier
to follow your cutting lines with accuracy.
Standard.Scroll.Cuts
For standard scroll cutting, follow the pattern line on the
workpiece by pushing and turning the workpiece at the
same time, which allows the kerf of the cut to make way
for the turn.
DO NOT turn the workpiece without pushing it through
the blade at the same time; otherwise, the blade could
twist and break. See Figures.19–20.for examples of
standard scroll cutting.
