GLOSSARY OF TERMS

SCROLL SAW TERMS

BEVEL SCALE – Represents the degree of table angle

from 0° to 45° when the table is tilted for bevel cutting.

BLADE GUARD FOOT – Guards the blade and keeps

your workpiece from rising. Helps protect ﬁngers from

blade contact.

BLADE GUARD FOOT LOCK KNOB – Allows you to

raise or lower the foot and lock it at the desired height.

BLADE HOLDERS – Retain and position the blades.

BLADE STORAGE – Provides convenient easy access

to extra blades or wrenches.

QUICK RELEASE TENSION LEVER – Quickly loosens

and retightens the blade to its original tension. The

tension lever quickly sets and resets the blade tension

when performing interior cutting operations or changing

blades.

SAWDUST BLOWER – Keeps sawdust from covering

the line of sight for more accurate cuts. The best results

occur when the blower tube is directed toward the blade

and workpiece.

SAWDUST COLLECTION PORT – Allows vacuum hose

or attachments to be used to remove the sawdust from

under the table and base.

TABLE LOCK KNOB – Securely locks the table at the

angle desired for bevel cutting.

VARIABLE SPEED ON/OFF CONTROL KNOB –

Variable switch dial allows greater versatility when

cutting a variety of materials. Adjust the speed to the

desired setting, between 500 to 1500 strokes per minute

(SPM), by turning the control knob clockwise or counter

clockwise.

WOODWORKING TERMS

BLADE TOOTH SET – The total width the blade will

cut based on the distance from the outside point of one

bent tooth to the outside point of the next bent tooth

establishing set of teeth.

DEFLECTION – Slight movement of blade in the

horizontal direction while the blade is moving inline

during cutting operation. This may be caused by the

blade following the grain or the path of least resistance.

FEED – Rate of moving material to be cut into the blade.

KERF – The slot cut by the blade.

LEADING EDGE – The front edge of the workpiece that

is guided into the blade.

SAW BLADE PATH – Area or line of sight of the

workpiece moving in line toward the saw blade edge.

SURFACE – Top of workpiece being cut.

TRAILING EDGE – The end of the workpiece edge last

cut by the saw blade.

WORKPIECE – Material on which the cutting operation

is being performed.
