IMPOKTANTMAINTDNANCE INFOKMATION

Your Craf tsman@ Scro l l Saw/Sander was thor-oughly inspected to r ig id s tandards pr ior to leav ingthe manufacturer 's factory and should g ive youmany years of satisfactory service.

Occasional ly , when the Craf tsman@ Scro l l Saw/Sander is removed f rom i ts car ton and the tab leat tached, the user wi l l not ice that the b lade doesnot appear to be perpendicu lar to the tab le sur face(F igu re 1 ) .

Before attempting to correct this condit ion, f irstcheck to see that the table is in i ts horizontal or zerodegree (0") posit ion. Use a square or other r ight an-gle device (a piece of paper wilt suffice) to check theblade position relative to the table surface (Figure 2).l f the blade is not perpendicular to the table, simplypush the upper arm of the saw frame in the directionthat wil l correct the blade al ignment (Figure 3).

Handling the saw by holding the upper arm of thesaw frame (Figure 4) can also cause the saw blade to

ti l t from the true vert ical posit ion. This is not an unu-sual condit ion and can be easily corrected by, again,applying sl ight pressure to the upper arm of the sawframe in the direction that wil l correct the al ignment(F igure 3) .

l f the user avoids the natural tendency to use theupper arm of the frame as a handle when l i f t ing ormoving the saw, there should be no further need torealign the blade. Figure 5 shows the proper way topick up the Scrol l Saw.

Before deciding on any adjustment, i t is recom-mended that you operate the saw and make sometrial cuts so that you can experience scrol l cutt ing.Be sure to check the mounting of the saw blade inthe blade holder prior to cutt ing. Generally the bladeis mounted so that the teeth are facing front. How-ever, the blade can be mounted with the teeth facingthe side. Always have the saw teeth oriented to adownward cut.
