sharpen,sand, buff, carve, engrave and perform many other
hobby,home or shop operations.Use with 247'l accessorypack.

Beforeattemptingto correct this condition,first
checkto seethat the tableis in its horizontalor zero
degree(0") position.Use a squareor other rightangle device(a pieceof paperwilt suffice)to check the
blade positionrelativeto the tablesurface(Figure2).
lf the bladeis not perpendicular
to the table,simply
pushthe upperarm of the saw framein the direction
that will correctthe bladealignment(Figure3).
Handlingthe saw by holdingthe upperarm of the
saw frame (Figure4) can also causethe saw bladeto
tilt from the true verticalposition.This is not an unusualconditionand can be easilycorrectedby, again,
applyingslightpressureto the upperarm of the saw
frame in the directionthat will correctthe alignment
( F i g u r e3 ) .
lf the useravoidsthe naturaltendencyto use the
upper arm of the frame as a handlewhen liftingor
movingthe saw,thereshouldbe no furtherneedto
realignthe blade.Figure5 showsthe properway to
pick up the ScrollSaw.
Beforedecidingon any adjustment,it is recommendedthat you operatethe saw and make some
trial cuts so that you can experiencescrollcutting.
Be sure to check the mountingof the saw bladein
the bladeholderpriorto cutting.Generallythe blade
is mountedso that the teethare facingfront. However,the bladecan be mountedwith the teethfacing
the side. Always have the saw teeth oriented to a
downwardcut.
