Making Cuts
CAUTION. Always ensure that the scroll saw is
switched off and the POWERhandle is removed
before making any adjustments.
1. First insure that you have install the correct
blade into the jigsaw for the material and design
you are about to cut. Wood blade for all types of
wood and a metal blade for metals and plastics.
2. Before starting the scroll saw or installing a
POWERhandle into the charger dock adjust the
table clamp so that it firmly presses your work
piece against the work surface but still allows
easy movement.
3. Align the first cut with the cutting face of the
blade with a small gap; holding your work piece
with your right hand, start the scroll saw with
your left.
4. Grip your workpiece on both sides of the table
clamp and gently push it into the cutting face of
the scroll saw. Firmly but smoothly guide the
work over the blade following your marked
design. Depending on the material of your work
piece you might have to blow the dust away to
keep good visibility of your marked cut line.
5. When you have completed your cut hold the
work steady with you right hand and stop the
scroll saw with your left.
Making Bevel Cuts
The jigsaw can be adjusted to lean 10° in either
direction to enable a bevel cut.
