(Pin End) or (Plain End).
2. Reduce feed rate, see BASIC ScrollStation OPERA-
TION, Page 11.
3. Use narrow blades for cutting thin wood, wide blades
for thicker wood.
4. Avoid side pressure on blade - avoid over-tensioning
pin-end blade.
5. Blade should have minimum 3 teeth in contact with
workpiece.
1. Replace defective parts before using saw
again.

1. See MOUNTING YOUR ScrollStation,
Pages 10.
2. The heavier your work bench is, the less vibration will
occur. A plywood workbench will not be as good a
work surface as the same size solid lumber. Use
common sense in choosing a mounting surface.
3. Tighten table wing knob.
