IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard wonʼt make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, donʼt try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.

18.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.

19.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function – check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20.

DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

21.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Donʼt leave tool until it comes to

a complete stop.

22. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND

USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL. DO NOT USE TOOL WHILE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

23.

MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted,

connected or reconnected.

24.

THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood products can be injurious to your health. Always operate machinery in well ventilated areas and provide for proper dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems whenever possible.

25. SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING,

SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains chemicals

known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

· lead from lead-based paints,

· crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

· arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR

SCROLL SAWS

WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING PRODUCT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND OR SERIOUS INJURY.

1. DO NOT OPERATE your scroll saw until it is

completely assembled and installed according to the instructions.

2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the

operation of Scroll Saws, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.

3. YOUR SCROLL SAW MUST be securely fastened

to a stand or workbench. If there is any tendency for the stand or workbench to move during operation, the stand or workbench MUST be fastened to the floor.

4. THIS SCROLL SAW is intended for indoor use

only.

5. MAKE SURE blade is properly tensioned before

operating saw.

6. TO AVOID blade breakage ALWAYS adjust blade

tension correctly.

7. MAKE SURE the blade teeth point downward

toward the table.

8. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the table

of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).

9. DO NOT cut material that is too small to be safely

supported.

10. AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden

slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.

11. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from blade.

12. ALWAYS adjust holddown foot for each new

operation.

13. DO NOT USE dull or bent blades.

14. DO NOT attempt to saw material that does not

have a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.

15. MAKE "relief" cuts before cutting long curves.

16. NEVER attempt to cut a curve that is too tight for

the blade being used.

17. WHEN backing a blade out of a workpiece, the

blade may bind in the saw kerf. This is usually

caused by sawdust in the kerf. If this happens, turn

"OFF" the switch and remove plug from power

source outlet. Wedge open the kerf and back

blade out of the workpiece.

18. THE USE of attachments and accessories not

recommended by Black & Decker may result in the

risk of injuries.

19. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the table.

20. DO NOT feed the material too fast while cutting.

Only feed the material fast enough so that the

blade will cut.

21. NEVER start the Scroll Saw with the stock pressed

against the blade.

22. WHEN cutting a large workpiece MAKE SURE the

material is supported at table height.

23. USE CAUTION when cutting material which is

irregular in cross section which could pinch the

blade before the cut is completed. A piece of

moulding for example must lay flat on the table

and not be permitted to rock while being cut.

24. USE CAUTION when cutting round material such

as dowel rods or tubing. They have a tendency to

roll while being cut causing the blade to "bite." Use

a V-block to control the piece.

25. ALWAYS release blade tension before removing

the blade from the upper or lower blade holders.

26. MAKE CERTAIN table tilting lock is tightened

before starting the machine.

2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machineʼs plug, as shown in Fig. A.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machineʼs plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE

MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
