No Setup Instruction/user manual included
I just received the Fox W1713, the saw was double boxed, however the outer box was mashed in and the inner box had holes punched in it from the inside out. I don't know where the holes came from as the saw was completely encased in unbroken/intact styrofoam. However, the box has been previously opened and retaped as there were 2 layers of tape on the saw box. After unpacking and looking everywhere, in BOTH boxes, I was unable to find any instructions on setup and/or adjustments, even though the label on the side of the saw, stated I needed to follow instructions in the operator/user manual! The unit does not look used or abused, just opened for whatever reason and user manual was gone. ----UPDATE---- I've been using this saw for a few days, I have found; 1. It cuts 1" green (very sappy) Southern Yellow Pine, Maple and Oak easily. 2. Does not vibrate as stated in other reviews, mine's not even bolted down on the work bench. 3. Easy blade changes 4. Makes very straight cuts and makes very tight rounded corners without having to make relief cuts. 5. Has sufficient power to cut hard woods running at any speed, it will lug slightly if you force the saw to cut too fast for the blade speed, you can lug down just about any saw if it's fed too fast. I could not have purchased a better saw for my use, I have a buddy using a more expensive saw than mine and he is amazed by how well this scroll saw handles ANY cut he tried. EXCELLENT SCROLL SAW
