Safety Instructions For Power Tools
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-
sion cords if they become damaged.
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommend-
ed accessories. The use of improper acces-
sories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. On machines with magnetic
contact starting switches there is a risk of

Grounding
Extension Cords
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-
rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
Operation
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord:
•
•
Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service
(grade S) or better.
The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
•
•
Use at least a 16 gauge cord.
Electrocution or a fire
can result if the machine
is not grounded correct-
ly. Make sure all electri-
cal circuits are ground-
ed. DO NOT use the
machine if it is not
grounded.
DO NOT use a cord longer that 100 feet!
No single list of electrical guidelines can
be comprehensive for all shop environ-
ments. Operating this machinery may
require additional electrical upgrades spe-
cific to your machine and shop environ-
ment. It is your responsibility to make sure
your electrical systems comply with all
local electrical codes and ordinances.
This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to
fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Site Considerations
Clean Up
Weight Load
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact.
The Model G0536 Scroll Saw is a small weight
load with a small footprint. Most workbenches
should be sufficient to carry the weight of the
machine. Reinforce the workbench if you ques-
tion its ability to support the weight.
Working Clearance
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-
tances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without
limitation. Consider existing and anticipated
machine needs, size of material to be processed
through each machine, and space for auxiliary
stands or work tables. Also consider the relative
position of each machine to one another for effi-
cient material handling.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could explode
if used to clean machin-
ery. DO NOT use gaso-
line or petroleum prod-
ucts to clean the machin-
ery.
Lighting And Outlets Lighting should be bright
enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye
strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or
large enough to handle the amperage draw.
Outlets should be located near each machine so
power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper
installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Smoking near solvents
could ignite an explosion
or fire and cause serious
injury. DO NOT smoke
while using solvents.
Unsupervised
children
and visitors inside your
shop could receive seri-
ous
personal
injury.
Lack of ventilation while
using solvents could
cause serious personal
health risks, fire, or
environmental hazards.
Always work in a well
ventilated area to pre-
vent the accumulation
of dangerous fumes.
Supply the work area
with a constant source
of fresh air.
Ensure child and visitor
safety by keeping all
entrances to the shop
locked at all times. DO
NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in the
shop at any time.

Installing Blades
Test Run
To install the blade:
Once the assembly is complete, the machine
needs to be tested. The purpose of the test run is
to ensure that there are no problems.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
To test run the scroll saw:
2. Feed the blade through the table and hook
into the lower blade holder as shown in
Figure 6. The blade teeth should face for-
ward and down.
1. Remove all tools from the scroll saw.
2. Turn the variable speed setting down to 550
SPM.
3. Plug the saw into the power source. Flip the
switch ON. Keep your finger ready to turn the
scroll saw OFF.
4. Listen for any unusual noises, vibrations or
rubbing. If anything sounds unusual, stop the
saw immediately.
5. Disconnect the machine from the power
source and find the source of the problem
before operating further.
NOTE—If you cannot locate the source of an
unusual noise or vibration, feel free to con-
tact our service department for help.
Figure 6. Blade attached to both holders.
(Guard removed for clarity)
3. Push down on the upper blade holder and
slide the upper end of the blade into the hold-
er. Make sure that the pins are seated into
the grooves in both holders.
Before starting the saw, make sure you
have performed the preceding assembly
and adjustment instructions, and you
have read through the rest of the manual
and are familiar with the various functions
and safety issues associated with this
machine. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury.
4. Increase the tension on the blade until the
blade gives a musical sound when plucked.
Note—Determining correct blade tension is
subjective and learned through experience.
If the blade is loose, the blade will drift off the
layout line when cutting and the scroll saw
will be noisy and vibrate. If the blade is too
tight, the blade could break causing serious
injury. Properly tensioned blades will last
longer and are less likely to break.
5. Replace the lower arm guard, the throat
plate and lower the blade guard into position.
Note—The blade can be installed sideways
to accommodate long workpieces.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
General
Blade Speed
This section will cover basic scroll sawing opera-
tions. Please read the remaining portion of the
manual before attempting any type of operation.
It is important to adjust the blade speed for the
type of material being cut. Generally harder mate-
rials require a slower blade speed.
Your safety is important! Please follow the
warnings below during this entire section:
To adjust the blade speed:
Rotate the knob, shown in Figure 7, clockwise to
increase the blade speed, and counterclockwise
to reduce the speed.
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears
could result from failure to wear safety
glasses, a respirator, and hearing protec-
tion while using this machine.
Loose hair and clothing
could get caught in
machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and long hair
tied up and away from
machinery.
Figure 7. Variable speed knob.
Feed Rate
The feed rate is the speed an operator moves the
workpiece through the saw blade. The correct
feed rate depends on the type of material, and its
thickness. When using the correct feed rate the
workpiece will move easily and the motor will run
smoothly. When feeding the work too quickly the
motor may bog down and the blade can break,
causing serious injury.

5. Feed the blade through the table and hook it
into the lower blade holder as shown in
Figure 10. The teeth should face forward
and down.
Changing Blades
1
A typical scroll saw blade will wear out in ⁄2 to 2
hours, depending on the material cut. Blades
become dull quicker when cutting thick material,
plywood, laminates, hardwoods and metal.
To change the blade:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source
2. Remove the throat plate and the lower arm
guard shown in Figure 8.

6. Push down on the upper blade holder and
slide the upper end of the blade into the hold-
er. Make sure that the pins are seated into
the grooves in both holders.
7. Increase the tension on the blade until the
blade gives a musical sound when plucked.
Note—Determining correct blade tension is
subjective and is learned through experi-
ence. If the blade is not tensioned enough
the blade will drift off the layout line when
cutting. The scroll saw will also have exces-
sive noise and vibration. If the blade is too
tight the blade could break, causing serious
injury. Blades that are tensioned correctly
will last longer and be less likely to break.
Figure 8. Arm guard screws and throat plate.
3. Loosen the blade tension adjustment knob.
4. Push down on the upper blade holder shown
in Figure 9, pull the upper end of blade out
of the holder, push down on the blade to free
the lower end of the blade, and pull the blade
up to remove.
8. Replace the lower arm guard and the throat
plate, and lower the blade guard into posi-
tion.
Note—The blades can also be installed with
the teeth pointing sideways to accommodate
long workpieces.

Straight Cuts
Curved Cuts
Miter gauges and fences are not effective on
scroll saws because most scroll saw blades are
narrow and tend to follow the grain of the wood.
Freehand cutting allows the operator to compen-
sate for blade drift.
When cutting curves, preplan your cut and leave
tight inside curves for a second pass to minimiz-
ing backing out. Cut sharp outside curves by cut-
ting past the curve and looping around to cut from
a different angle.
To make a straight cut:
To make a curved cut:
1. Draw a straight line on your workpiece.
1. Draw a pattern on your workpiece.
2. Turn the power ON and allow the motor to
2. Choose a blade size based on the tightest
curve in the workpiece. Smaller blades can
cut tighter curves.
reach full speed.
3. Feed the workpiece slowly and steadily into
the blade, keeping your hands to either side
of the cutting line while pushing down. Make
sure the blade is cutting on the waste side of
the line (Figure 11).
3. Rough cut the board down to a workable
size.
4. Feed the workpiece into the blade with a
slow and even pressure. Use your fingers to
hold it down and use your thumbs to steer as
shown in Figure 12.
Figure 11. Straight cut.
4. Scroll saw blades will have a tendency to
drift. Compensate by adjusting the feed
direction.
Figure 12. Making a curved cut.
Note—When approaching a tight radius,
slow down your feed rate, but don’t stop.
Give the teeth time to make the cut. Forcing
the workpiece through the curve will cause
the blade to twist or break. If your cut pro-
duces waste in the curve’s interior, turn the
power off and wait until all motion stops
before removing the waste.
Note—The variation of hard and soft grain in
wood will cause the scroll saw blade to
deflect. If you are approaching hard grain at
an angle, the feed rate must be slowed and
pressure should be applied toward the side
with the hard grain.

Inside Cuts
Bevel Cuts
Inside cuts such as circles or the insides of closed
letters can be easily cut with your scroll saw by
threading the blade through a hole drilled in the
workpiece.
Bevel cuts can be used for miters, cope joints,
and making relief or recessed projects.
To make a bevel cut:
To make an inside cut:
1. Draw your pattern as described in the previ-
ous sections.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Adjust the table to the desired angle.
2. Remove blade and throat plate.
3. Using the same principles as in the previous
sections, feed the work slowly and evenly
