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.
