Specific Safety Rules

Keep your fingers and clothing away from the sanding disc. Do not sand pieces that are so small that your fingers touch the sanding disc while sanding. Don't use a rag to hold workpiece while sanding. They could get cut or wedged between the pad and the table.

Do not sand pieces of material that cannot be supported by the table. When sanding larger workpieces provide additional support at the sanding table height. Oversized workpiece may cause the table to shift and you could lose control.

Use miter fence when sanding. Supporting the workpiece prevents it from being ejected from the sander and leaves both hands to control the work.

Do not wet sand with this sander. A liquid entering the motor housing is an electrical shock hazard.

Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure treated lumber, paint that may be lead based, or any other materials that may contain carcinogens. All persons entering the work area must wear a suitable breathing respirator and protective clothing. Plastic sheeting should seal Work area and persons not protected should be kept out until work Flexarea is thoroughlyShaft Safetycle n d. Rules

Do not operate the flexible shaft with a sharp bend. Over bending the shaft can generate excessive heat on the jacket or hand piece. The recommended minimum is 6" radius.

Be aware of the switch location, when placing the flex shaft down or when picking the tool up. You may accidentally activate the switch.

Always hold the hand piece firmly in your hands during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the shaft to twist.

After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control; loose rotating components will be violently thrown.

Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not always be obvious.

Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using wheel. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.

Wear protective gloves and face shield with wire or bristle brushes. Apply wire or bristle brushes lightly to the work as only the tips of the wire/bristles do the work.

"Heavy" pressure on bristles will cause the wire or bristle to become overstressed, resulting in a wiping action and will cause the bristles/wire to be discharged.

Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding

wheels to avoid chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use a wheel that may be damaged. Fragments from a wheel that bursts during operation will fly away at great velocity possibly striking you or bystanders.

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.

Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Allow for sufficient space, at least 6", between your hand and the spinning bit. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to "bite" or jump toward you. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use both hands to control the tool.

Inspect your workpiece before cutting. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the bit and be torn from your hand. For example, if carving wood, make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. Nails or foreign objects can cause the bit to jump.

Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. Let the bit reach its full set speed before contacting the workpiece. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the cutter.

Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kickback.

The direction of feed with the bit into the material when carving, routing or cutting is very important. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down, turn the tool "OFF" by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed material. If the switch to the tool is left "ON" the tool could restart unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.

Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off.

Only when tool comes to a complete stop it is safe to put it down.

Do not grind or sand near flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials.

Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.

Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your rotary tool to become commonplace. Always remember

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 Station 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 wall outlet, make certain the power switch is in the OFF position and be sure the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the Scroll Station 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 on this page, 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.

! DANGER	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 in Figure 1.

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 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 equipmentgrounding 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.

Always use proper extension cord. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

To remove protective coating from the table surface, moisten a soft cloth with kerosene or WD-40 and wipe off coating. Do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose. After removing protective coating, If you wish, you may apply a coat of paste wax to the table to allow the workpiece to slide easily across the table surface and deter rust. Wipe the table thoroughly with a clean dry cloth.

Assembly

Mounting the Scroll Station

to a Bench

The Scroll Station should be fastened securely to a firm supporting surface such as a stand or workbench, using the three mounting holes.

NOTE: When mounting this saw to a workbench, a solid bench is preferable to a plywood bench where noise and vibration will be more noticeable.

We recommend to reduce noise and vibration, that a soft foam pad be placed between your Scroll Station and workbench (not included).

Quantity Description

1 Soft foam pad, such as carpet padding, 24”x12”x1/2”

When mounting the Scroll Station to a workbench, holes should be drilled through the foam pad or carpet and mounting surface of the workbench using the dimensions illustrated in Figure 6.

Each of the three mounting holes should be bolted securely using no less than 1/4" hex bolts, flat washers, lockwashers, and nuts (not included). We recommend:

Quantity Description

4 Hex Head Bolts,

1/4"-20 x 1/4"-20 x Length Required 4 Flat Washers, 9/32" I.D.

4 Lockwasher, 9/32" I.D.

8 Hex Nuts, 1/4"-20

(Hardware not included)

Refer to Figures 6 and 7.

1.Locate and mark where the Scroll Station is to be mounted.

2.Drill the three (3) 5/16" holes through the workbench.

3.Place the Scroll Station on the workbench aligning holes in the base with the holes drilled in the workbench. Insert all three (3) bolts and secure using washers, lockwashers and nuts.

NOTE: Do NOT overtighten mounting bolts. If using recommended foam pad, leave some cushion in the foam pad for absorbing noise and vibration.

Operation

4. Install the blade by inserting one end of the blade through the access hole in the table and hook the blade pin in the pin recess in the lower blade holder. Slide the top blade pin into the pin recess of the upper blade holder. You may need to press down lightly on the upper blade holder to install the blade.

5. Check to see that the pins are properly located in the blade holders.

6. To properly secure the blade securely tighten the wing knob on the upper and lower holders.

7. Tension blade (see BLADE TENSION below).

Removing and Installing

Plain-End Blades

1.Release blade tension by lifting up the Quick Release Tension Lever (Figure 11) and turn counterclockwise.

2.Open easy access door and loosen the blade wing knob on the upper and lower blade holders (Figure 9). Remove blade from the upper and lower blade holders by pulling forward on blade and then lifting the blade through the access hole in the table. Slight downward pressure may be necessary on the upper arm.

NOTE: Table insert may be removed for better access. Table insert must be replaced before operating the saw.

3.Install the blade by inserting one end of the blade through the access hole in the table and centering the blade in the blade slot in the upper and lower blade holders (Figure 10).

4.To properly secure the blade securely tighten the wing knob on the upper and lower holders.

5.Tension blade (see BLADE TENSION below).

NOTE: In order to cut, and avoid uncontrollable lifting of the workpiece, the teeth of the blade used on the Scroll Station should always point downward as shown in (Figure 9) when installed.

To tension blade, move Quick Release Tension Lever to “down” position. As the lever is lowered, tension will be applied to the blade (Figure 11).

ATTENTION: Moving the lever downward should require moderate, steady pressure only. If heavy pressure is needed, the blade is too tight. Loosen tension by rotating the Quick Release Tension Lever counterclockwise 1-2 turns, then reset the tension lever to the “down” position. If the tension lever is in the “down” position and the blade is too loose, you can increase tension by leaving the tension lever “down” and rotating it clockwise just until you feel the slack in the blade

Figure 11. Quick Release Tension Lever removed. Then turn the tension lever ONE full turn clockwise. This amount of blade pressure should do well for most cutting operations and blades.

When the blade tension has been properly adjusted, you should be able to lift up the Quick Release Tension Lever, remove and install the blade, lower the lever and return the original blade tension. The life of the tension lever will be extended if you back the tension off one-half turn before lifting the lever.

NOTE: It may be necessary to re-adjust the tension lever 15 when using different types of blades.

Maintaining Your Scroll Station

General

! WARNING For your own safety, turn power switch to OFF and remove plug from the power source out-

let before maintaining or lubricating your Scroll Station.

Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the motor.

An occasional coat of paste wax on the work table will allow materials being cut to glide smoothly across the work surface and deters rust.

! CAUTION Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Including: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and house-

hold detergents that contain ammonia. Avoiding use of these and other types of cleaning agents minimizes the probability of damage.

! WARNING To avoid shock or fire hazard, if the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,

have it replaced immediately.

! WARNING All repairs, electrical or mechanical, should be attempted only by trained repairmen. Contact the nearest Dremel Factory Service Center. Use only Dremel

replacement parts, any others may create a hazard.

Carbon Brushes

The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend the brushes be examined every two to six months. Only genuine Dremel replacement brushes specially designed for your tool should be used.

The brushes should be inspected frequently when tools are used continuously. If your tool runs sporadically, loses power, makes unusual noises or runs at a reduced speed, check the brushes. To continue using the tool in this condition will permanently damage your tool.

With the cord unplugged, remove the brush caps one at a time with a small screwdriver by rotating cap counter-clock- wise and check each brush (Figure 20).

If the brush is less than 1/8" long and the end surface of the brush that contacts the commutator is rough and/or pitted, replace the brush. Check both brushes. Usually the brushes will not wear out simultaneously. If one brush is worn out, replace both brushes. Make sure the brushes are installed as illustrated. The curved surface of the brush must match the curvature of the commutator.

After replacing brushes the tool should be run at no-load; place it on a clean surface and run it freely for 5 minutes before loading (or using) the tool. This will allow the brushes to “seat” properly and will give you more hours of life from

Figure 20. Checking Motor Carbon Brushes

Figure 21. Lubrication

each set of brushes. This will also extend the total life of your tool since the commutator surface will wear longer.

Lubrication

ARM BEARINGS

Lubricate the arm bearings with oil after 10 hours of use. Reoil after every 50 hours of use or whenever there is a squeak coming from the bearings.

TO LUBRICATE

1. Remove rubber plug to expose bronze bearing.

2. Squirt a generous amount of SAE 20 oil around the shaft end and bronze bearing.

3. Replace rubber plug.

4. Let the oil soak in overnight in this condition.

The Pin-End blades, while somewhat easier to put in and take out of the machine, do not always produce the same controlled cutting action provided with the Plain-End blade. These narrow Plain-End blades allow the user to cut more detailed, intricate patterns and smaller inside cuts.
