The Radley 16" Variable Speed Scroll Saw is a power tool designed for precision cutting in wood and wood-like products. It is intended for indoor use in dry conditions and comes with a 3-year limited warranty on the tool itself, with a 2-year warranty for battery and charger if applicable (though this model is corded). The warranty covers defects in material or workmanship but excludes normal wear and tear, abuse, misuse, or commercial/rental use.
The scroll saw is primarily used for cutting curves and intricate designs in various materials. It features a variable speed control, allowing the user to adjust the blade stroke speed to match the material and desired cut. The saw is equipped with a blade blower to clear sawdust from the cutting line, enhancing visibility. For safety, it includes a removable safety key for the ON/OFF switch, preventing unauthorized use. The table can be tilted up to 45 degrees for bevel cuts, expanding its versatility. It supports both pinned-end and plain-end blades, offering flexibility in blade choice. Interior cuts are possible by drilling a pilot hole and threading the blade through the workpiece.
The scroll saw is designed for user convenience and safety. It should be securely fastened to a sturdy stand, workbench, or plywood to prevent movement during operation. The blade tension release lever allows for quick blade changes and tension adjustments. An upper blade holder locking knob and a blade and bevel locking knob ensure secure positioning of the blade and table. The flexible LED light illuminates the work area for better visibility. A sawdust vacuum port (1-1/4" or 32mm) is integrated for connecting a vacuum accessory to manage dust. Blade storage is provided on the right rear side of the saw body for convenience. The tool features a carrying handle for easy transportation. Bevel cuts up to 45 degrees to the left are possible by adjusting the table tilt. The blade guard foot is adjustable to rest slightly above the workpiece, helping to prevent excessive lifting.
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. The work table should be occasionally coated with paste wax to allow wood to glide smoothly. The sawdust extraction port should be kept clear, and any excessive sawdust buildup inside the base should be removed using a wet/dry vacuum or manually. The power cord should be inspected periodically for wear or damage and replaced by an authorized electrician if necessary. The motor bearings should not be oiled, and internal motor parts should not be serviced by the user. Cutting tools should be kept sharp and clean. The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as breaking blades, motor not running, excess vibration, and blade run out, offering probable causes and suggested remedies. For electrical connections and repairs, a qualified electrician is required. All adjustments or repairs must be done with the machine disconnected from the power source.
