• Allow the blade to drop down slightly and push it forward, in order to loosen it from the lower holder.
Basic scroll saw operations and tips
• There is a learning curve for each person who wants to use this saw. During that period of time it is
expected that some blades will break until you learn how to use the saw and receive the greatest
benefit from the blades.
• Blades wear faster when:
• cutting plywood, which is very abrasive;
• when sawing wood which is thicker than the blade stroke;
• when sawing hardwood;
• when side pressure is placed on the blade
• The saw blade saws only during the downward stroke.
• Using both hands, slowly and with minimum pressure push the workpiece across the table towards
the saw blade. This will prevent the blade from breaking or twisting.
• For optimal results, the saw blade must be sharp.
• Use the proper saw blade. The selection of the saw-blade depends on the thickness of the wood and
the cut you would like to achieve. Keep the following in mind as a general rule: The thinner and
harder the wood, the finer the teeth of the saw blade. Use a small blade to saw sharp curves.
