Basic Scroll Saw Operations Follow these instructions for operating your Scroll Saw to get the best results and to minimize the likelihood of personal injury. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears and Body !WARNING TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO THE BLADE-- ALWAYS OBSERVE THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS HERE AND ON PAGES 2, 3, 4, · Best results are achieved when cutting wood less than one inch thick. · When cutting wood thicker than one inch the user must feed the wood very slowly into the blade, increase blade tension and take extra care not to bend or twist the blade while cutting in order to maximize blade life. · Teeth on Scroll Saw blades wear out and as such must be replaced frequently for best cutting results. Scroll Saw blades generally stay sharp for 1/2 hour to 2 hours of cutting. · To get accurate cuts be prepared to compensate for the blade's tendency to follow the wood grain as you are cutting. · When choosing a blade to use with your Scroll Saw consider the following carefully: · Choose a blade that allows at least three (3) teeth to be in contact with the workpiece at all times. DO: TIE BACK LONG HAIR ROLL LONG SLEEVES ABOVE ELBOWS · Very fine, narrow blades should be used to scroll cut in thin wood (1/4 inch thick or less). · To cut thicker wood, use wider blades with fewer teeth per inch. · Most blade packages state the size or thickness of wood which that blade is intended to cut, and the radius (size of curve) which can be cut with that blade. · Wider blades can't cut curves as tight or small as thinner blades. · This saw uses 5 inch long, Pin or Plain-End type blades only (See Accessories on page 18). · Blades wear faster when (1) cutting plywood, which is very abrasive, (2) when sawing wood which is thicker than the 3/4 inch blade stroke, and (3) when sawing hardwood, or when side pressure is placed on the blade. DO NOT WEAR: Loose Fitting Gloves Necktie Loose Clothing Jewelry · The saw does not cut wood by itself. You allow the saw to cut wood by guiding the wood into the blade as it moves. · The blade teeth cut ONLY on the down stroke. · The drop foot should always be lowered until it just rests on top of the workpiece. · You must feed the wood into the blade slowly because the teeth of the blade are very small and they can only remove wood when they are on the down stroke.
