MANUAL INSTRUCTION
SAFETY RULES
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 possiblity 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 won't make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don't try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. Delta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine not be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to a particular application, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to determine if it can or should'be performed on the product.

2.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3.ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
4.GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the third prong.
5.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it "on."
6.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
7.DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well-lighted.
8.KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
9.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF - with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys. 10. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.
11. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glasses (must comply with ANSI Z87.1). Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
15. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
16.MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17.DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
18.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.
19.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in "OFF" position before plugging in power cord.
20.NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
21.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.
22.DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cuttter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
23.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
24.DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
25.MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted, connected or reconnected.
26.WARNING: 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.
26.WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
2
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR SCROLL SAWS
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 Delta 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.
27.NEVER reach under the table while the machine is running.
28.NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table while the saw is operating.
29.ALWAYS STOP the saw before removing scrap pieces from the table.
30.WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use.
31.SHOULD any part of your Scroll Saw be missing, damaged or fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off switch and remove plug from power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or failed parts before resuming operation.
32.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of this product is available from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201, in the Accident Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations and also in the Safety Data Sheets provided by the NSC. Please also refer to the American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machinery and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
33.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Your new scroll saw is shipped complete in one carton; carefully unpack the saw and all loose items. Remove the protective coating from the saw table surface. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the table surface with a good quality paste wax. Buff out the wax thoroughly to prevent it from rubbing into your workpieces.
