[. . . ] (406 mm) Variable Speed SCROLL SAW Model SC164VS 30 15 0 THANK YOU FOR BUYING A RYOBI SCROLL SAW. Your new Scroll Saw has been engineered and manufactured to Ryobi's high standards for dependability, ease of operation, and operator safety. Properly cared for, it will give you years of rugged, trouble-free performance. CAUTION: Carefully read through this entire operator's manual before using your new saw. [. . . ] I Follow last three steps in previous section called Mounting Scroll Saw to Workbench. If lag bolts are being used, make sure they are long enough to go through holes in the saw base and the material the saw is being mounted to. If machine bolts are being used, make sure they are long enough to go through holes in the saw base, the material the saw is being mounted to, and the washers and nuts. Note: It may be necessary to countersink washers and nuts on the bottom side of mounting board. MOUNTING SCROLL SAW TO WORKBENCH WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury from unexpected tool movement, always securely mount scroll saw to a workbench. If the scroll saw is to be used in a permanent application, we recommend that you secure it in a permanent location such as a workbench. When mounting the saw to a workbench, holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of the workbench. I Each hole in the base of the saw should be bolted securely using machine bolts, washers, and nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, washers, nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Using the saw base as a pattern, locate and mark the holes where the scroll saw is to be mounted. I Place scroll saw on workbench aligning holes in the saw base with the holes drilled in the workbench. I Insert all four bolts (not included) and tighten securely with washers and nuts (not included). Supporting surface where scroll saw is mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure workbench or supporting surface before beginning cutting operations. 30 15 0 C-CLAMP SAW BASE MOUNTING BOARD WORKBENCH Fig. 5 Reducing Noise and Vibration: You may wish to place a foam pad or piece of carpet between the saw base and the workbench to help reduce noise and vibration. If a foam pad or piece of carpet is used, do not overtighten the mounting bolts. Leave some cushion between the padding and the saw base to help absorb the noise and vibration.

I Loosen the drop foot lock knob and move drop foot rod all the way up. I Loosen the table lock knob to tilt the saw table until it is approximately perpendicular or at right angle to the blade. Remember, the bevel scale is a convenient guide but should not be relied upon for precision. Make practice cuts on scrap material to determine if your angle settings are correct. I Adjust the drop foot to desired position and securely retighten the drop foot lock knob. DROP FOOT See Figure 6. [. . . ] Your saw has externally accessible motor brush assemblies that should be checked periodically for wear. I Carefully place the saw on its side exposing the underside of the saw housing. I Using a flat blade screwdriver, remove the bottom brush assembly cap through the access hole in the base and the top brush assembly cap from the top of the motor. Gently pry the brush assemblies out using a small screw drivier, point of a nail, or paper clip. [. . . ]
