Rule #5
Unplug the saw when you change a blade.
Conclusion
Now you have enough knowledge to operate a scroll saw for yourself. Remember always be safe.
Rule #4
Test the blade tension to see that it is adjusted correctly.
Rule #6
Set the saw for the right speed. The cutting speed will depend on the type of blade you use and the type of material your going to cut.
Rule #7
Before you switch on the saw, turn the pulley by hand so the blade goes through one complete stroke. Make sure the blade clears the table insert.
Rule #8
Adjust the hold-down spring on the pressure foot. Adjust the tension so the material is held flush against the table, but so it can still be moved freely under the pressure foot.
Rule #12
Rule #3
Check to be sure that the blade is installed correctly.. The teeth should point downward.
The scroll saw is smaller than some of the other power tools, and it looks simple to operate. Don't be misled by this. Using the scroll saw improperly or carelessly can cause an accident and injury. Be Careful.
Rule #9
Keep your fingers away from the area in-front of the blade. Keep your fingers, hands, and arms at least two inches from the blade.
Rule #2
Rule #10
Be sure the blade is the right type for the work you want to do.
Rule #11
Don't force the cut. Twisting the blade or putting too much pressure on it will break it.
If you have to back out of a cut, hold the material firmly with one hand while you turn off the saw. When it is completely stopped, pull the material gently past the blade. Don't twist it or force it.
Rule #1
Check the condition of the blade in the saw. The blade has to be sharp and in good condition.
