ON-OFF AND VARIABLE
SPEED SWITCHES
Fig. 18
The on-off switch (A) Fig. 18, and variable speed switch
(B) is located on the left side of the scroll saw base, as
shown. To turn the saw "ON," push the top portion of
switch (A) and to turn the saw "OFF", push the bottom
portion of the switch (A).
This scroll saw is supplied with variable speeds of 400 to
1800 strokes per minute. When the variable speed
switch (B) Fig. 18, is rotated all the way to the left (coun-
terclock-wise) the speed will be 400 strokes per minute.
To increase the strokes per minute, rotate switch (B) to
the right (clock-wise) until the desired speed is obtained.
When the switch (B) is rotated all the way to the right
(clockwise) the speed will be 1800 strokes per minute.
LOCKING ON-OFF SWITCH
IN THE "OFF" POSITION
IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch
should be locked in the off position using a padlock (C),
as shown in Fig. 19. This padlock is available as an an
accessory, Model 50-325 padlock.

TABLE INSERT
The table insert (A) can be assembled to the saw table
with the opening in the insert pointing to the front of the
table, as shown in Fig. 20, or to the right as shown in Fig.
21.
With the table in the level position, 90 degrees to the
blade, the insert (A) should be positioned, as shown in
Fig. 20. This allows for the blade to be pivoted forward
after it is unclamped from the top blade holder, enabling
you to quickly insert the blade into the next hole in a pat-
tern when doing inside-cutting, as you will see later in
this manual.
When tilting the table for bevel cutting operations the
insert (A) should be positioned as shown in Fig. 21. This
allows for clearance of the blade when tilting the table.
