Operations; Test Run; Straight Cuts - Grizzly G1060 Instruction Manual

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

Test Run

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test
the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-
ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case
there's a problem. The scroll saw should run
smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to investigate or
adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until
the machine is turned off, unplugged and all
working parts have come to a rest before you do
anything!
If you cannot easily locate the source of an
unusual noise or vibration, feel free to contact our
service department for help.
Your scroll saw can perform a variety of intricate
cuts: straight, curved, bevel, inside, and so on.
The kind of work you produce with it is limited
only by your imagination.
In this section we'll cover the four basic types of
cuts from which all others are variations. Please
keep in mind that these are standard guidelines;
they are by no means the only correct ways to
use your Scroll Saw. NOTE: Safety Shield is
removed for photographic clarity in this section.

Straight Cuts

1. Scribe a straight line on your workpiece with
a sharp pencil or scratch awl.
2. Adjust Hold-down Foot so it barely touches
the workpiece.
3. Turn power on. Allow motor to get up to
speed and push workpiece slowly and
steadily into the blade, keeping your hands
to either side of the cutting line. Make sure
the blade is cutting to the waste side of the
line. Figure 9.
