Rules for Safe Operation

To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limita­tions, as well as potential hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and

old itself harmless for any injury that may result from the improper use of its equipment.

h

1. Be sure to read, understand and follow all safety
arnings and instructions in the supplied

w
Operator’s Manual.

. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or

2

under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medica­tion that impairs reflexes or alertness. Stay alert!
Give your work your undivided attention.

3. Keep the work area well lit, clean and free of

debris. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

4. Keep children and shop visitors at a safe distance

while operating the saw; do not permit them to
operate the scroll saw.

5. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all

machinery with locks, padlocks, master electrical
switches and switch keys, or by removing starter
keys to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.

6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be

hazardous to health. Work in well ventilated area
and use a dust collector whenever possible.

7. Wear approved safety glasses, dust mask and non-

skid footwear. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
bracelets, necklaces or jewellery while operating
the saw. Keep long hair contained by wearing pro­tective hair covering.

8. Be sure all adjustment tools, wrenches or other clut-

ter are removed from the machine and/or the
table surface before operation. When not in use,
tools should be locked-up in a dry place, out of
children’s reach and away from flammable sub­stances.

9. Keep hands well away from saw blade and all

moving parts. Use a brush,not hands, to clear away
chips and sawdust.

10. Be sure that saw blade is properly installed, and in

proper cutting direction, before operation. Always
use a clean,properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull
blades are unsafe and can lead to accidents. Also,
be sure the blade has gained full operating speed
before beginning to cut.

11. Do not push or force stock into the blade. The saw

will perform better and more safely when working
at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use for
purposes not intended.

12. Avoid working from awkward or off balance posi­tions. Do not overreach while cutting; keep both

eet on floor. Never lean over or reach behind the

f
blade and never pull the workpiece through the cut
from behind.

13. Never stand or lean on the saw.Serious injury could
occur if the unit is tipped over or if the blade is unin­tentionally contacted.

14. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended
by General® International may result in equipment
malfunction or risk of injury.

15. Never leave the machine unattended while run­ning or with the power “ON”. Don't leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.

16. Always turn off and disconnect from power source
before servicing or changing accessories, blades,
bits, and cutters, or before performing any mainte­nance or adjustments.

17. Reduce the risk of unintentional start-up. Make
sure that switch is in the "OFF" position before
plugging in the power cord. Do not use the saw if
the power switch is defected. Have defective switch­es replaced by an authorized service center.

18. Make sure saw is properly grounded. If equipped
with a 3-prong plug it should be used with a three­pole receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces (e.g.
pipes, radiators, stoves, refrigerators).

19. Repairs to the saw should only be carried out by
qualified people using original spare parts. A
guard or other damaged part should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center.

20. Inspect power cords and extension wires periodi­cally. If damaged, have them repaired by an
authorized service facility. Never yank cords and
wires and keep away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.

21. This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain
or use in wet or damp locations.

Additional Safety Instructions

Specific to this Scroll Saw

B

ecause each shop situation is unique, no list of safety guidelines can ever be complete. The most

i

mportant safety feature in any shop is the knowledge and good judgement of the user. Use com-

mon sense and always keep safety considerations, as they apply to your individual shop situation

first and foremost in mind. If you have any doubts about the safety of an operation you are about

to perform: STOP! Do not perform the operation until you have validated from qualified individuals

if the operation is safe to perform and what is the safest method to perform it.

1. Material hold-down must be properly set and
remain in position during use.

2. Never reach under the table when operating or
make any adjustments while the scroll saw is run­ning.

3. Secure the saw to the work bench with clamps or
mounting hardware.

4. Where possible, use clamps or a vice to secure your
workpiece. It is safer than using your hand.

5. Do not lift or carry the saw by the upper arm.

6. Make sure blade tension is properly adjusted.

7. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the saw blade.
Do not place fingers or hands in the path of the saw
blade.

8. When removing short workpieces, or cleaning up
around the table, be sure that the switch is in the
OFF position and that the blade has come to a
complete stop.

9. Never turn the saw ON before making sure that the
table is clear except for the workpiece and related
feed or support devices for the operation planned.

10. Check for proper blade size and type.

12. Turn off motor if the material resists being backed
out of an incomplete cut. Use appropriate speed
for applications.

13. CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such
as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can
be toxic. When cutting these materials, extra care
should be taken to avoid inhalation and to mini­mize skin contact.

14. Always use a dust mask and safety glasses when
sawing. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

15. Keep guards in place and in working order.

16. Make sure your fingers do not contact the terminals
of the power cord plug when plugging in or unplug­ging the saw.

17. Never overfeed or force work into the blade.

18. Check for alignment and binding of all moving
parts, broken parts, mounting and any other con­ditions that may affect the saw’s operation.

19. Keep handles dry and free from oil and grease.

20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing acces
sories.

11. Do not attempt to saw stock that does not have a
flat surface unless a suitable support is used.

TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, ENSURE MACHINE IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. DO NOT OPERATE IN DAMP
CONDITIONS. DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING. REPLACE FUSE WITH THE SAME
TYPE AND RATING ONLY - 3 AMP.

BE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING.

6

21. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cut
ter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUP­PLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH
GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE
MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.

THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

n the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,

I
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The motor
of this machine is wired for 120V single phase opera­tion and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3­prong grounded plug to fit a grounded type recepta­cle, A.

Do not remove the 3rd prong (grounding pin) to make
it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket. If an adaptor plug is
used, B, it must be attached to the metal screw of the
receptacle.

Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some areas,
including Canada. Check your local codes.

Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a
supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150
volts: This tool is intended fo use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A. The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the addapter illustrated in B and C, may be used to connect this plug to
a 2 pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet can be insalled by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted
in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a per­manent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding con­ductor.If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.uter surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding con­ductor.If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not fit your receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand these grounding instruc­tions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

EXTENSION CORDS

USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT
THE TOOLS’ PLUG. REPAIR OR REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN POWER CORD OR PLUG IMMEDIATELY

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine make sure the cord rating is suitable for the
amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used based on cord
length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number the heavier
the gauge.
