WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury from unexpected tool movement, always secrurely mount scroll saw
to a workbench.
CAUTION:
All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install the washers and nuts from the underside of the bench.
• Place scroll saw on workbench. Using the saw base as a pattern, locate and mark the holes where the scroll saw is to
be mounted.
• Drill three holes through the workbench.
• Place scroll saw on workbench, aligning holes in the saw base with the holes drilled in the workbench.
• Insert all three bolts and tighten securely with washers and nuts.
Supporting surface where scroll saw is mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement
during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure workbench or supporting surface before beginning cutting
operations.
Reducing Noise and Vibration:
You may wish to place a foam pad or piece of carpet between the saw base and the workbench to help reduce noise and
vibration.
If a foam pad or piece of carpet is used, do not overtighten the mounting bolts. Leave some cushion between the padding
and the saw base to help absorb the noise and vibration.
The thickness of the padding material should be approximately 1/2" (13 mm).
DROP FOOT ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 3)
To prevent workpiece from lifting, the drop foot (A) should
be rest at above the workpiece and the drop foot adjusted
so it is parallel to the working table when angle cutting. The
drop foot should not be adjusted so that the workpiece
drags.
Always retighten the drop foot lock knob (B) after each
adjustment has been made.
• To adjust, loosen the screw (C), tilt the drop foot (A) so it
is parallel to the working table, and tighten the screw.
• Loosen the drop foot lock knob (B) to raise or lower the
drop foot until it just rests on top of the workpiece. Tighten
the knob.
• Loosen the horizontal adjustment screw (D) with screw-
driver (not included), then move the drop foot forward or
backward as needed.
The tall, front part of the drop foot acts as a blade protector
to prevent accidental contact with the blade.
