Apply a coat of paste wax to the saw table surface to allow the workpiece to slide easily across the surface. Wipe the saw table thoroughly with a dry cloth to remove excess wax. CLAMPING SCROLL SAW TO WORKBENCH See Figure 5. If the scroll saw is to be used in a portable application, it is recommended that you fasten it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other supporting surface. The mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping of saw while in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in. I Mount saw to board using holes in saw base as a template for hole pattern. Locate and mark the holes where scroll saw is to be mounted. I Follow last three steps in previous section called Mounting Scroll Saw to Workbench. If lag bolts are being used, make sure they are long enough to go through holes in the saw base and the material the saw is being mounted to. I Loosen the screw holding the scale indicator. Move indicator to the 0° mark and securely tighten screw. Remember, the bevel scale is a convenient guide but should not be relied upon for precision. Make practice cuts on scrap material to determine if your angle settings are correct. I Adjust the drop foot to desired position and securely retighten the drop foot lock knob. DROP FOOT See Figure 6. To prevent workpiece from lifting, the drop foot should be adjusted so it just rests on the top of the workpiece. The drop foot should not be adjusted so that the workpiece drags. Always retighten the drop foot lock knob after each adjustment has been made. I Lower or raise the drop foot to the desired position. I Retighten the drop foot lock knob. The tall, front part of the drop foot acts as a blade guard to prevent accidental contact with the blade.

Let oil soak in overnight, remaining in this position. Note: Lubricate the bearings on the other side of the saw in this same manner. WARNING: If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately by a qualified service technician. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. [. . . ]
