Beforeattemptingto correct this condition,first checkto seethat the tableis in its horizontal or zero degree(0") position. Use a squareor other rightangle device(a pieceof paperwilt suffice)to check the blade positionrelative to the tablesurface(Figure2). lf the bladeis not perpendicular to the table,simply pushthe upperarm of the saw framein the direction that will correctthe bladealignment (Figure 3). Handlingthe saw by holdingthe upperarm of the saw frame (Figure4) can also causethe saw bladeto position. tilt from the true vertical This is not an unusualcondition and can be easilycorrected by, again, applyingslightpressure to the upperarm of the saw frame in the direction that will correctthe alignment (Figure 3). lf the useravoidsthe naturaltendencyto use the upper arm of the frame as a handlewhen liftingor movingthe saw,thereshouldbe no furtherneedto realignthe blade.Figure5 showsthe properway to pick up the ScrollSaw. Beforedecidingon any adjustment, it is recommendedthat you operatethe saw and make some trial cuts so that you can experience scrollcutting. Be sure to check the mountingof the saw bladein the bladeholderpriorto cutting.Generally the blade is mountedso that the teethare facingfront. However,the bladecan be mountedwith the teethfacing the side. Always have the saw teeth oriented to a downwardcut.
