Tool designed to cut sharp curves and angles on both the outside edges and the interior sections of a work piece
HOW IT WORKS:
SAW BLADE MOVES UP AND DOWN TO DO THE SAME TYPE OF CUTTING THAT A COPING SAW DOES

12. SAFETY WEAR SAFETY GLASSES KEEP LONG HAIR AND LOOSE CLOTHING AWAY
KEEP FINGERS TO THE SIDES OF BLADE- NOT FRONT

13. MARGIN OF SAFETY
SCROLL SAW: 2 INCHES

14. BLADES 3 KINDS METAL CUTTING BLADE SPIRAL BLADES- VERY FINE CUTTING
PLAIN-END BLADE- REGULAR USE CUTTING
SIZES:
-1/16 TO ¼ INCH WIDE
-1/64 TO 1/32 INCH THICK
15 TPI (TEETH PER INCH) IS STANDARD

15. CHANGING SPEEDS SPEED IS ADJUSTED DEPENDING ON TASK USUALLY HIGH SPEED
SLOWER SPEED FOR MORE CONTROL WHEN CUTTING DETAILED WORK

16. PROCEDURES PLAN CUTTING BEFORE YOU START ADJUST THE GUIDE
HOLD THE WORKPIECE WITH THUMB AND FOREFINGER WITH BOTH HANDS
MOVE IT FORWARD
DO NOT FORCE STOCK INTO BLADE
TURN STOCK AS NEEDED BUT NOT TOO SHARPLY

17. CUTTING INTERNAL DESIGNS
DRILL RELIEF HOLE
FEED BLADE THROUGH HOLE
CUT
REMOVE BLADE

18. OTHER USES STRAIGHT CUTS- CLAMP A GUIDE BOARD TO THE TABLE
MAKE IDENTICAL PARTS- FASTEN PIECES TOGETHER WITH SMALL NALES
INLAYING- CUT 2 PIECES TOGETHER
