SAFETY RULES FOR
SCROLL SAWS
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious injury.
1.DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.
2.OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
3.FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.
4.SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over.
5.NEVER START THE MACHINE BEFORE CLEARING THE TABLE of all objects (tools, scrap pieces, etc.). Debris can be thrown at high speed causing injury.
6.NEVER START THE MACHINE WITH THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE BLADE. The workpiece can be thrown, causing injury.
7.NEVER START THE MACHINE UNTIL ALL HANDLES ARE LOCKED AND THE BLADE IS AT THE CORRECT TENSION. Abnormal operations cause injuries.
14.DO NOT CUT A WORKPIECE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A FLAT SURFACE against the table.
15.MAKE RELIEF CUTS before cutting long curves. Never attempt to cut a curve that is too tight. Breaking blades can cause injury.
16. NEVER BACK A BOUND BLADE OUT OF A KERF with the saw running. Turn the saw "OFF", disconnect the saw from the power source, wedge the kerf and remove the blade. Breaking blades can cause injury.
17.USE CAUTION WHEN CUTTING IRREGULAR WORKPIECES. This type of workpiece can pinch the blade before the cut is complete. Breaking blades can cause injury.
18.USE CAUTION WHEN CUTTING ROUND MATERIAL. This type of workpiece has a tendency to "roll" and can cause the blade to bite. Breaking blades can cause injury.
19.PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE work-pieces. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause injury.
20.NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SET-UP WORK ON THE TABLE/WORK AREA WHEN THE MACHINE IS RUNNING. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade. Injury can result.
8.AVOID Awkward operations and hand positions. A
sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade. 21. TURN THE MACHINE "OFF", disconnect the machine
9.KEEP ARMS, HANDS, and fingers away from the blade to prevent injury.
10.NEVER REACH UNDER THE TABLE while the machine is running. A moving blade under the table can cause injury.
11.ADJUST THE "HOLD-DOWN" FOOT FOR EACH NEW OPERATION. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause injury.
12.HOLD THE WORKPIECE FIRMLY AGAINST THE TABLE. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause injury.
13.DO NOT CUT A WORKPIECE THAT IS TOO SMALL TO BE SAFELY SUPPORTED. When hands are too close to the blade, a wrong move can cause injury.
from the power source, and clean the table/work area before leaving the machine. Lock the switch in the "OFF" position to prevent unauthorized use. Someone else might accidentally start the machine and cause injury to themselves.
