Supporting surface where scroll saw is mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement during use can result.

R BL AD ORA E ST GE Reducing Noise and Vibration: You may wish to place a foam pad or piece of carpet between the saw base and the workbench to help reduce noise and vibration. If a foam pad or piece of carpet is used, do not overtighten the mounting bolts. Leave some cushion between the padding and the saw base to help absorb the noise and vibration. The size of the padding material should be approximately 24 in.

I Place a small square on the saw table next to the blade. 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. [. . . ] Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
