there are numerous hints and tips to help you to use the tool
safely and to maintain its efficiency and prolong its life.There is
also a detailed description of the parts of your scroll saw, which

Introduction
4
The AC405SS variable speed (550-1,600/min) scroll saw comes
with a powerful DC motor and can easily cope with cutting a
wide variety of materials up to 50mm deep.The two blade
arms are independently pivoted giving a virtually straight
up-and-down motion to the blade for a better quality cut.
A 35mm diameter dust port allows the scroll saw to be
connected to a vacuum cleaner. A generous table (410 x
254mm) with a 406mm (16”) throat, tilts to 45° for bevel
cutting.The saw accepts pinned or plain end blades.The clamps
are easily accessible for blade changing. A blower helps keep
the cutting line clean and easily seen.When changing blades a
quick release tension knob allows quick and easy change.The
heavy cast iron base gives stability and ensures low vibration.
General Safety Instructions for 230V Machines
The following will enable you to observe good working
practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain
your tools and equipment in good working order.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
OUT OF REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
Mains Powered Tools
• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are
damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably qualified person.
• Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
Workplace
• Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere
within a site area that is flooded.
• Keep machine clean.
• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to commence.
• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the
cable.
•Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool
is securely tightened in the machine and the correct
speed and function set.
•Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc.
•Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc.Wear ear defenders at all times.
•If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to prevent it
being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine.
•Consideration should be given to the removal of rings and
wristwatches.
•Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear etc.
•If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are
suitably qualified to use it.
•Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted
•Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas
of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be
volatile gases.
•Check cutters are correct type and size, are undamaged
and are kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their
operating performance and lessen the loading on the
machine.
•OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening
around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
KEEP WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE
ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS.

Specific Safety Precautions for Scroll Saws
5
1. Wear safety goggles as protection against flying wood chips
and saw dust. In many cases, a full face shield is even better
protection. A dust mask is also recommended to keep saw
dust out of your lungs.
2. The scroll saw must be bolted securely to a stand or work
bench. If the saw has a tendency to move during certain
operations, bolt the stand or workbench to the floor.
3. A solid wood workbench is stronger and more stable
than a workbench with a plywood table.
4. This scroll saw is for indoor use only.
5. Do not cut pieces of material which are too small
to be held by hand.
6. Clear the work table of all objects except the work piece
(tools, scraps, rulers etc.) before turning the saw on.
7. Make sure the blades’teeth are pointing down, toward
the table, and that the blade tension is correct.
8. When cutting a large piece of material, support it at the
height of the table.
9. Do not feed the work piece through the blade too fast.
Feed only as fast as the blade will cut.
10. Keep your fingers away from the blade. Use a push stick
as you near the end of the cut.
11. Take care when cutting a work piece which is irregular in
cross section. Moulding for example must lie flat, and not
‘rock’on the table as it is being cut. A suitable support must
be used.
12. Take care when backing off a work piece from the blade,
as the blade may bind in the kerf. In this event, switch OFF
the machine and disconnect from the supply.Wedge open
the kerf and withdraw the work piece.
13. Switch off the saw, and make sure the blade has come to a
complete stop before clearing sawdust or off-cuts from the
table.
14. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of
the work piece to be sawn.
15. Be extra cautious with very large or small, or irregularly
shaped work pieces.
16. Set up the machine and make all adjustments with the
power OFF, and disconnected from the supply.
17. DO NOT operate the machine with the covers off. They
must all be in place and securely fastened when performing
any operation.
18. Be sure to use the correct blade size and type.
19. Use ONLY approved replacement saw blades. Contact your
local Axminster Tool Centre for advice.The use of inferior
blades may increase the risk of injury.

Mounting the Scroll Saw
7
It is strongly recommended that you mount the machine
to a workbench or to a purpose built scroll saw stand.
A pad between the saw and the workbench/stand is also
recommended to reduce vibration. Ensure you use flat
washers between the bolt head and mounting holes,
see figs 01-02-03.

Setup and Adjustment
10
The scroll saw comes with the blade assembled. Please
follow the instruction below on how to tension your saw.
Tensioning the Blade
Setting the Table
Check that the blade is under tension. If the blade is loose, turn
the blade tensioning knob to the rear of the arm to take up the
slack then turn the knob one full turn clockwise. Check that
the blade is sufficiently tensioned by pinging the blade, see fig
05-06.
NOTE: Before turning the knob one full turn, place a
positioning mark on the knob to make sure you don’t
over tension the blade, see fig 04.
Fig 04-05-06
Positioning mark
WARNING! DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
THE BLADE OTHERWISE THE BLADE
WILL BREAK.
1. Place an engineer’s square on the table and position it
up-against the blade, making sure that the square is not in
contact with any of the teeth. Check that the blade is
perpendicular (90˚) to the table, see fig 07.
2. If adjustment is required, loosen the table clamping knob
and rotate the table until correct. Re-tighten the knob to secure
the table, see fig 08.
3. Check that the scale pointer is pointing at ZERO degrees
on the scale. If not, loosen the Phillips screw and adjust
pointer until correct, re-tighten the screw, see fig 09.
Fig 07-08-09
Reset the scale pointer
so it reads ‘ZERO’
