Basic
Scroll
Saw
Operation
PLEASE, read and understand the following items about
your scroll saw before attempting
to
use the saw.
1.
Allow the saw to cut wood by guiding the wood into the
blade as it moves.
2.
The blade teeth
cut
wood
ONLY
on
the
down stroke.
3.
You must guide the wood into the blade slowly because
the teeth of the blade are very small and they can only
remove wood on the down stroke.
4. There is a learning curve for each person who wants to
use this saw. During that period
of
time, it is expected
that some blades will break until you learn how
to
use the
saw and receive the greatest benefit from the blades.
5.
Best results are achieved when cutting wood less than
one inch thick.
6.
When cutting wood thicker than one inch, the user must
guide the wood very, very slowly into the blade and take
extra care not
to
bend or twist the blade while cutting.
7.
Teeth on the 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.
0.
To get accurate cuts, be prepared to compensate for the
blades' tendency to follow other wood grain as you are
cutting.
9.
This scroll saw is intended to cut wood or material similar
to wood only.
10. When choosing a blade to use with your scroll saw,
consider the following carefully.
Very fine, narrow blades should be used to scroll cut in
thin wood 114" thick or less.
To cut wood over 1/4" thick, use wider blades.
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.
Narrower blades work well only on thinner wood
material.
11. This saw uses
5"
long pin or plain end type blades.
12.
Blades wear faster when cutting plywood, which is very
abrasive; when sawing wood which is thicker than
314"
blade stroke; and when sawing hardwood, or when side
pressure is placed on the blade.
