Introduction
Perfect for the hobby user who wants a more
advanced scroll saw, the RSS16E is a machine that
will allow you to take on more advanced projects.
Based around a cast iron base with cast alloy body
and table, it's not too heavy to move and the
integrated handle makes this an easy task. Several
features make this scroll saw stand out: variable
motor speed giving a good cutting range for many
tasks, easy blade changing plus it can take both
pinned and un-pinned blades in the same blade
holders. The table tilts both ways up to 45° with a

Good Working Practices/Safety
The following suggestions will enable you to observe
good working practices, keep yourself and fellow
workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment
in good working order.
WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE
REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
Primary Precautions
The machine is supplied with a moulded 13 Amp.
Plug and 3 core power cable. Before using the tool
inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that
neither are damaged. If any damage is visible have
the tool inspected /repaired by a suitably quali-
fied person. If it is necessary to replace the plug, it
is preferable to use an 'unbreakable' type that will
resist damage on site. Only use a 13 Amp plug, make
sure the cable clamp is tightened securely. Fuse at 5
Amp. It is also good practice to use switched outlets.
If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same
safety checks on them, and ensure that they are
correctly rated to safely supply the current that is
required for your machine.
Work Place/Environment
Always mount the machine on a flat, level, stable
surface. There are several methods of achieving this,
bolting the machine directly to a 'good solid
workbench' , bolting the machine to a sturdy base
board that can be clamped to the 'good solid
workbench'; create an independent entity by bolting
the machine to its own stand. However you mount
geared hand knob. A clever flexible stalk combines a
blower nozzle and LED work light to keep the work
clear and illuminated. There is a hinge out blade tray
for convenient blade storage. A 35mm dust outlet
allows connection to a small vacuum extractor and
a wrap-around eye shield is supplied. Rubber feet
are provided for bench or worktable use; however,
for best performance we do recommend bolting the
machine to either a steel stand or sturdy workbench.
This would be a good choice of machine to let your
hobby skills grow.
your machine, make sure it is fastened down and
stable before use. The machine is not designed for
sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is
liable to get wet. If the machine is set up in the open,
and it starts to rain (unusual though this would be in
U.K.), cover it up or move it into the dry. If machine
has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth
or paper towel.
Do not use 230V a.c. powered machines anywhere
within a site area that is flooded or puddled, and do
not trail extension cables across wet areas.
Keep the machines clean; it will enable you to more
easily see any damage that may have occurred.
KEEP THE WORK AREA AS
UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL,
THIS INCLUDES PERSONNEL AS
WELL AS MATERIAL. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK
AREAS.
It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged
until work is about to commence, also make sure
to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or
unattended. Always disconnect by pulling on the
plug body and not the cable. Once you are ready to
commence work, remove all tools used in the setting
operations (if any) and place safely out of the way.
Re-connect the machine.
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc..
