Assembly instructions

Attach the air pipe to the top of the bellows.

Attach the air pipe to the metal tube.

Fix the metal tube in place, with the nozzle pointing down to the middle, using the phillips screw.
CAUTION! DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN AS THIS CAN CRUSH THE PIPE

Attach the hold down foot using the screw making sure it is parallel to the table.

Attach the transparent guard using the screw, washer and nut.

\Undo the three small screws on the light cover and put in a safe place.

Fit the two batteries provided ensuring they are the correct way around. Replace the cover and refit the screws.

Put your spare blades in the storage box on the left hand side of the scroll saw.

ONLY ATTACH THE FLEXIBLE SHAFT WHEN YOU INTEND TO USE IT. WHEN NOT IN USE LEAVE THE PLASTIC THREADED COVER IN PLACE.To use the flexible drive, firstly remove the cover.

Locate the power take off. Insert the drive shaft into the hole and then screw the outer cap onto the outlet by hand.

THE FLEXIBLE SHAFT ONLY NEEDS TO BE HAND TIGHTENED.

It is normal for scroll saws to create a lot of vibration. Fixing the saw down to a heavy duty work bench is recommended. Some people also find using a vibration absorbing mat helps. There are three bench mounting point provided.

Plain end type blade Pin end type blade

Using pin end blades
The pin type blade simply hooks over the upper and lower blade holder.
Make sure the pins sit in the indentation.
Pin type blades are quick and easy to change, but are not available in very narrow widths for making the most intricate cuts.
To fit the blade: Remove the table insert by pressing upwards from underneath the table

Turn the blade tension knob counterclockwise to decrease it.

Hook the lower pin over the lower blade holder.
Press down lightly on the upper blade holder and hook the upper pin over the upper blade holder.
Replace the table insert and lower the blade tension lever.
To remove the blade, follow these instructions in reverse.
Alternate fitting:
The pin type blade can also be used in the sideways position as shown.
Feed direction will be right to left.
This option allows cuts to be made in materials longer than 400mm (16”) in length.

Using plain end blades To set the blade clamps onto plain end blades, use the setting jig located on the top arm. Loosen the grub screws on either side of the clamps then slot a new blade into each end. Tighten up the grub screws to hold the blade in place making sure it is held centrally.

Take off the blade tension. Hook the blade clamp onto the lower blade holder (may be easier using a hand under the table).\ Once the lower clamp is in place, press down the top arm so that you can hook the top holder into place. Refit the table insert plate. Follow the blade tensioning instructions as for pin end blades.

Operating instructions

A suitable dust extractor should always be used.
There are two ways to control the scroll saw: The control panel or The foot switch
To use the control panel: Set the red rocker switch to position labelled ‘I’ Press the green ‘On’ button labelled ‘I’ The red light will illuminate and saw will start. Set the desired speed by turning the speed dial. Clockwise to increase the speed and anti-clockwise to decrease the speed.
To use the foot switch:
Set the red rocker switch to position labelled ‘0’
Press the green ‘On’ button labelled ‘I’
The red light will illuminate but the saw will not start.
To start the saw, press down on the foot switch. The blade will move at the set speed. Using the foot switch allows both hands to be used to guide the work piece and the convenience of stopping and starting without taking your hands off.
The speed can be changed at any time by turning the speed dial. Clockwise to increase the speed and anti-clockwise to decrease.
The scroll saw is fitted with a battery powered light which can be turned on using the switch on the top.
The light is on a flexible arm and can be adjusted so that it shines onto the work piece.
The light is on a flexible arm and can be adjusted so that it shines onto the workpiece

Regular Cutting
Lower the hold down foot so that it is just above the height of the wood to be cut. It prevents the work piece lifting off the table during the upstroke of the blade.
Adjust the air blower so that it is pointing down at the cutting area. This enables a clearer view of the cut, particularly useful when following pencil lines.
Bevel Cutting To adjust the angle of the work table slacken off the knob.
Tilt the table to the desired angle and tighten the locking knob.
Mitre Cutting A mitre guide is provided to allow straight cuts on small pieces of timber.
The mitre guide can be set up to a 45 degree angle for performing mitre cuts.
With the pin type blade set in the sideways position the mitre guide can be used in the rear table slot.
Using the Flexible shaft
When using the flexible shaft ensure the blade guard on the scroll saw is fully down – the blade will still be moving.
To fit a tool into the flexible shaft: Insert the spindle lock tool into the hole in the outer case of the spindle to stop the spindle rotating.
Put the chosen tool into the collet.
Use the spanner to tighten the collet.
Caution: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN
Various flexible drive accessories are supplied for sanding, polishing, grinding and shaping operations.
They can be used on wood, metal and plastics.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE FLEXIBLE SHAFT FROM THE SCROLL SAW WHEN NOT IN USE
