WRENCHES, Get in the habit of checking to see that hex keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning on the saw.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas and work benches Invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is in operation.
DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON MENTS. Do not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable liquids, in damp or wet loca tions. or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lit.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
■USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 18 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage, The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord,
■INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI CALLY and replace if damaged.
■DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonslip foot wear are recommended. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
■ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH
SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
■PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
■PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation,
■SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
■DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
■MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
■DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected from power supply.
■AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
■USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
■NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unin tentionally contacted.
a CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified service technician at a Sears store to avoid risk of personal injury.
DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade
or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT TENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop,
USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the right blade size, style and cutting speed for the material and the type of cut. Blade teeth should point down toward the table. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback. Correctly adjust blade tension.
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR and minimize blade breakage, ALWAYS adjust the hold down foot to just clear the workpiece. Never operate the saw with any guard or cover removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly before each use.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers go under the blade guard. Never reach underneath work or behind, under, or within three inches of the blade and its cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving. .
WARNING: Blades coast after turn off.
AVOID PINCHING THE BLADE. Be cautious when cutting off material which is irregular in
cross section. For example, molding must lay flat on the table and not be permitted to rock.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at a Sears store, Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the moving blade.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by a qualified service technician at a
Sears store.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean tool.
A LARGE PIECE OF MATERIAL SHOULD BE SUPPORTED while cutting. To minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback, always support long workpieces. Saw may slip, walk or slide while cutting long or heavy boards.
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING COVERS, GUARDS OR BLADE, UNPLUG THE SAW.
DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY
while cutting. Do not force the workpiece against the blade.
NEVER CUT MORE THAN ONE WORKPIECE
AT A TIME. If making a stacked cut, all of the pieces must be secured to each other with masking tape or double stick tape to make one workpiece. Do not put more than one workpiece on the saw table at a time. Always hold the work firmly against the table. See page 18.
AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SETUP WORK ON THE TABLE while the cutting tool is operating.
NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during use.
NEVER START A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE. Clear
the table of debris before turning your scroll saw on.
ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL
SPEED before starting a cut.
FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your scroll saw to a
firm, level workbench or table. The most comfort able saw table height is at approximately hip height.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good balance. Do not cut pieces of material that are too small to hold comfortably in your hand.
REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made by qualified service technician at a Sears store or repair center.
WARNING: When servicing use only identical Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.
Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you f 'e tired. Do not rush.
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstruc tions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using your saw.
ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting
it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply. NEVER leave the scroll saw unattended while connected to a power source.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with your saw make you careless. Remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
