FASTENING
SCROLL
SAW TO SUPPORTING
SURFACE
This scroll saw MUST be securely fastened to a stand or
workbench using the three holes, two of which are shown at
(A) Fig. 4. The third hole is at the rear of the machine.
An alternate
method
of securing
the scroll
saw to a
supporting surface is to fasten the scroll saw to a mounting
board. Then securely clamp the mounting board to a stand
or workbench using two or more C-clamps.
NOTE: For proper stability, the holes in the mounting board
must be countersunk
at the bottom
so that the fastener
heads are flush with the bottom
surface of the mounting
board.
OPERATIONAL
CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
STARTING
AND STOPPING
SCROLL
SAW
Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF"
position before
plugging cord into outlet.
Do not touch
the plug's metal prongs when unplugging or plugging
in
the cord.
The on/off switch (A) Fig. 5 is located on the right side of the
scroll saw base. To turn the machine "ON", move the switch
up to the "ON" position. To turn the machine "OFF", move
the switch (A) down to the "OFF" position.
LOCKING
SWITCH
IN THE "OFF"
POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch
should
be locked
in the
"OFF"
position
to prevent
unauthorized
use. To lock the machine, grasp the switch toggle
(B) and pull it out of the switch (Fig. 6). With
the switch toggle (B) removed, the switch will not operate.
However, should the switch toggle be removed while the saw
is running, the machine can be turned "OFF," but cannot be
restarted without re-inserting the switch toggle (B).
in the event of a power
outage
(such
as a breaker
or fuse trip), always
move the switch
to
the "OFF" position until the main power is restored.
An
accidental start=up can cause injury.
VARIABLE
SPEED SWITCH
The scroll saw is equipped with a variable speed control (B) Fig. 5. The variable speed range is 600 to 1650 strokes per
minute. When the variable speed knob (B) Fig. 5, is rotated all the way to the left (counterclockwise)
the speed will be
600 strokes per minute. To increase the speed, rotate knob (B) to the right (clockwise) until the desired speed is obtained.
When the knob (B) is rotated all the way to the right (clockwise) the speed will be 1650 strokes per minute.
