SCROLL

Scrolling saws permit 360 ° rotation of the saw
blade without turning the saw, so intricate
designs may be cut with minimum
effort. To
permit rotation of plunger turn lever, (Fig. 10)
to scrolling.
The plunger of your scrolling saw
can also be locked in (4) positions,
90" apart.

GUIDE
Face the good side of the material down and
secure it in a bench vise or clamp it down.
Draw cutting lines or designs on the side of
the material facing up towards
you. Then
place the front edge of the saw foot on the
work and line up the blade with the line to be
cut. Hold the sabre saw firmly, turn it on, and
press down (to keep the saw foot flat against
the work) as you slowly push the saw in the
direction of the cut.
Build up cutting rate gradually,
cutting close to
the line (unless you want to leave stock for
finish sanding). As you cut you may have to
adjust or relocate the vise or clamps to keep
the work stable.
Do not force the saw or the
blade teeth may rub and wear without cutting
and the blade may break. Let the saw do most
of the work. When following curves,
cut slowly
so the blade can cut through cross grain. This
will give you an accurate cut and will prevent
the blade from wandering.
CUTTING
WITH A STRAIGHTEDGE
Always use a rough cut blade when possible,
Clamp a straightedge
on the work parallel to
the line of cut and flush with the side of the
saw foot, (Either first mark the line of cut and
