IMPORTANT: When mounting the saw to a stand or workbench DO NOT over-tighten mounting bolts. Leave some cushion in the four rubber feet (A) for absorbing noise and vibration. An alternate method of securing the scroll saw is to clamp the front and side ledges of the scroll saw to a supporting surface with C-clamps. IMPORTANT: If there is any tendency for the stand or workbench to move during operation, the stand or workbench must be fastened to the floor. OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS ON-OFF AND VARIABLE SPEED SWITCHES The on-off switch (A) Fig. 17, and variable speed switch (B) is located on the right side of the scroll saw base, as shown. To turn the saw "ON," push the switch (A) up to the “ON” position. To turn the saw "OFF", push the switch (A) down to the “OFF” position. The scroll saw is equipped with a variable speed control knob (B) Fig. 17. The variable speed range is 400 to 1800 strokes per minute.
