The Ozito Variable Speed Scroll Saw (model SSB-407) is a mains-powered woodworking tool designed for intricate cutting tasks in various materials. Its primary function is to allow users to make precise, curved, and internal cuts that are difficult or impossible with other types of saws. The variable speed feature enables adaptation to different materials and cutting requirements, enhancing control and blade life.

Function Description:

The scroll saw operates by moving a thin blade rapidly up and down through a workpiece, allowing for detailed and curvilinear cuts. The blade is held under tension between an upper and lower blade holder, which are part of an arm mechanism. A sawdust blower directs air onto the cutting line, keeping it clear for better visibility. The work piece holder helps to secure the material and prevent lifting during cutting. The table can be tilted for bevel cutting, expanding the range of possible cuts. Internal cuts, not starting from the edge of the workpiece, are possible by drilling a pilot hole and threading the blade through it.

Important Technical Specifications:

Motor: 120W, S2 (10min)
Input: 230-240V ~ 50Hz
No Load Speed: 400-1600 strokes per minute (SPM)
Depth of Throat: 406mm (16")
Max. Thickness of Cut: 52mm @ 90°, 20mm @ 45°
Blade Length: 127mm
Stroke: 14mm
Table Tilt: 0° - 45° Left
Table Size: 408 x 250mm
Weight: 13kg
Blade Type: Accepts 127mm - 133mm pin end scroll saw blades. Pinless blades can also be used with the supplied hex key to tighten clamping screws.
Dust Extraction Port: Ø36mm for vacuum hose attachment.

Usage Features:

Variable Speed Control: A speed selector dial allows adjustment from 400 to 1600 SPM, enabling users to match the cutting speed to the specific material (e.g., hard/soft woods, plastic, paper, felt, veneer, fibre) and desired cut type (e.g., tight radius work, thick material).
Bevel Cutting: The saw table can be tilted from 0° to 45° to the left, allowing for angled cuts. A bevel scale provides a guide for setting the angle, though trial cuts on scrap material are recommended for precision. The work piece holder can be adjusted to remain parallel to the saw table during bevel cuts.
Internal Cuts: The design facilitates internal cuts by allowing the blade to be removed, threaded through a pre-drilled hole in the workpiece, and then re-tensioned.
Blade Tension Lever: A lever allows for quick release and tightening of blade tension. Fine-tuning of tension is achieved by turning the lever clockwise (tighten) or anti-clockwise (loosen). Proper tension is crucial for preventing blade breakage or bending.
Work Piece Holder Adjustment: The work piece holder's height can be adjusted to just rest on top of the workpiece, preventing it from lifting during cutting. It should not be so tight as to drag the workpiece.
Sawdust Blower: An integrated blower keeps the cutting line clear of sawdust, improving visibility and accuracy.
Mounting Options: The saw features four holes in its base for secure mounting to a workbench or worktable, which is recommended for maximum stability and reduced noise/vibration. Alternatively, it can be fastened to a mounting board for portability. Rubber feet are supplied for direct placement on a surface.
Safety Guard Assembly: A transparent front guard and work piece holder arm provide protection during operation.
Automatic Shut-off: The saw automatically turns off in the event of a power failure, accidental unplugging, or if the mains power supply is interrupted, requiring a manual restart via the On (I) button.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: Ventilation vents should be kept clean to prevent foreign matter entry and overheating. After each use, air should be blown through the tool housing to remove dust. The tool enclosure should be cleaned with a moist soft cloth, avoiding solvents or immersing the tool in liquid.
Carbon Brush Replacement: Carbon brushes are a consumable part that will wear out over time, indicated by sparking and/or the tool stopping. They should be replaced by a qualified electrician or power tool repairer when needed to prevent permanent damage to the motor. Both brushes should be replaced simultaneously.
Dust Clearing: The side cover can be unscrewed and removed to access and clean accumulated sawdust from behind the dust port, especially if dust extraction is not used. This also provides access to the lower blade holder for easier blade fitting.
Screw Inspection: Motor mount screws should be periodically inspected and tightened if loose.
Blade Holder Re-alignment: In case of blade runout (blade not properly aligned with arm motion), the blade holders and blade can be realigned.

The Ozito Variable Speed Scroll Saw is designed for DIY use and comes with a 3-year replacement warranty, provided the tool is used as intended and maintained according to the instruction manual. The warranty excludes consumable parts like blades and carbon brushes.
