ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR SCROLL SAWS
1. WARNING: 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, obtqin 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 the
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.
4
18.
ALWAYS
hold the work firmly against the table.
19. DO NOT feed the material too fast while cutting.
Only feed the material fast enough so that the blade will
cut.
20. NEVER start the Scroll Saw with the stock pressed
against the blade.
21. WHEN cutting a large workpiece
MAKE
SURE the
material is supported at table height.
22. USE CAUTION when cutting material which
is
ir-
regular
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.
23. 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.
24.
ALWAYS
release blade tension before loosening the
blade holder screw.
25. MAKE CERTAIN table tilting lock
is
tightened before
starting the machine.
26. NEVER reach under the table while the machine is
running.
27. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on
the table while the saw
is
operating.
28.
ALWAYS
STOP the saw before removing scrap
pieces from the table.
29. 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.
