Additional Safety Rules
Tool Use
DON’T FORCE TOOL
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don’t used tool for purpose not intend- ed—for example, don’t use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
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 the tool.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Tool Care
DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL
These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification not specified is misuse and may result in dangerous conditions.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or explosive atmosphere. Motors in these tools normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.

8. STABILITY OF SAW
Your Scroll Saw must be bolted securely to a stand or workbench. In addition, if there is any tendency for the Scroll Saw to tip over or move during certain operations, such as cutting long, heavy boards, bolt your Scroll Saw stand or workbench to the floor.
9. LOCATION
This Scroll Saw is intended for indoor use only.
10. PROTECTION: Eyes, hands, face, ears and body.
TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO THE
! WARNING BLADE—
DO NOT WEAR: |
Loose Fitting Gloves |
|
Necktie |
|
Loose Clothing |
|
Jewelry |
DO: TIE BACK LONG HAIR
ROLL LONG SLEEVES ABOVE ELBOWS
a. If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning, has been damaged or broken . . . such as the motor switch, or other operating control, a safety device or the power cord...cease operating immediately until the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.
b.Do not cut piece too small to hold by hand. HINT: When making a very small cut out, always secure the workpiece to a scrap piece of plywood with doublefaced tape. This way, the work is supported and your fingers are away from the blade.
c.Never turn your Scroll Saw on before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except for the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.
3.
Additional Safety Rules
d. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.
•ALWAYS adjust the drop foot to just clear the workpiece to protect the operator, keep blade breakage to a minimum and provide maximum support for blade.
•Always adjust blade tension correctly.
•The Scroll Saw should cut on the down stroke. Always make sure blade teeth are oriented downward toward table.
•When cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is supported at table height.
•Hold the work firmly against the table.
•Do not feed the material too fast while cutting. Only feed the material fast enough so that the blade will cut. Keep fingers away from the blade.
•Use caution when cutting off material which is irregular in cross section‚ it could pinch the blade before the cut is completed. A piece of molding, for example, must lay flat on the table and not be permitted to rock while being cut.
•Use caution when cutting off round material such as dowel rods or tubing. They have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite”.
e.Never leave the Scroll Saw running unattended. Turn the saw OFF, make sure the saw has come to a complete stop, and then remove plug from power supply before leaving the work area.
f.Do not perform layout, assembly or setup work on the table while the cutting tool is operating.
g.Turn saw off and remove plug from power supply outlet before installing or removing an accessory attachment.
h. Access Door must be closed before operation.
i. Quick Release Tension Lever should be in down position before operating.
11. THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE SCROLL SAW IS BEING USED.
Do not allow familiarity (gained from fre- ! WARNING quent use of your Scroll Saw) to become
commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING
Wear Eye Protection
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1 before commencing power tool operation.
Some dust created by power sanding, ! WARNING 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.
NOTE AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT APPEAR ON THE PANEL ON SCROLL SAW HOUSING:

Motor Specifications and
Electrical Requirements
Motor Specifications
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 Scroll Saw is designed to use a Variable Speed RPM motor. It is wired for operation on 110-120 volts, 60 Hz. alternating current. Before connecting the motor cord to power source, make certain the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the nameplate.
Connection To A Power
Source
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type outlet protected by a 15-amp dual element time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure that your outlet, as pictured below, is properly grounded; have it checked by a qualified electrician.
! |
DANGER |
To avoid electric shock, do not touch the |
|
metal prongs on the plug when installing or |
|||
|
|
||
removing the plug to or from the outlet. |
|||
! |
DANGER |
Failure to properly ground this power tool can |
|
|
|||
cause electrocution or serious shock, particularly when used near metal plumbing or other metal objects. If shocked, your reaction could cause your hands to hit the tool.
If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately to avoid
shock or fire hazard.
Your unit is for use on 120 volts; it has a plug that looks like the one below.
3-PRONG PLUG
GROUNDING PRONG
ALWAYS USE A
GROUNDED
OUTLET
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and grounding type plug, approved by Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian Standards Association. The ground conductor has a green jacket with or without yellow stripes and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground
prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type outlet as shown. It must be grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is of the two-prong type, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Have a qualified electrician replace the TWO-prong outlet with a properly grounded THREE prong outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. 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 tool is properly grounded.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
