Safe Operation
- Always cut work pieces that are resting on the worktable – no ‘free hand’ cutting of work in air
- Always adjust the work piece foot to gently rest on the work piece
- DO NOT attempt to clear the blade of loose pieces while the machine is running. Only clear the blade and table of loose pieces of work after the blade has come to a complete stop
- Push work pieces through the saw by applying even pressure on both sides of the work piece
- If the blade cannot cut a tight radius without bogging down, cut straight through the scrap material, remove the scrap, and try again from a clean cut
- DO NOT push on the work piece along the scroll saw’s line of cut
- Adjust the tilt of the table by loosening the table tilt lock, tilting the table to the desired angle, and tightening the table tilt lock
